Love Came For Me

I've been on a Shannon Wexelberg kick lately. I first heard her at the National Worship Leader Conference last year, and have LOVED her music ever since. So peaceful, so vivid with lyrics.

Now granted, this one is on her Christmas album, but it is one to listen to and reflect on all year.

Reflect on these lyrics:

Love Came for Me 

Words & music by Shannon J. Wexelberg 

If You had not come 

Tender baby King 

And humbly left Your throne 

To reach someone like me 

If You had not walked 

Upon this broken ground 

Where on earth would I be now? 

If You had not come 

If You had not come 

To seek the sick and lame 

To set the captive free 

To break the prisoners chains 

I’d still be in the dark 

Grappling for the door 

Longing for some way, somehow (but…) 

   

Love came for me 

 Love rescued me 

 Love called my name 

 Love took my place 

 Sweet Lamb of God 

 I’m bowing down 

 My eyes have seen 

 I’m finally free 

 Love came for me  

If You had not come 

Willing, spotless Lamb 

My sin would be too much 

For You to take me as I am 

But, oh, the blood of Christ 

That washes over me 

Flowing from Your hands and feet 

Don’t have to worry where I’d be        

Love came for me 

 Love rescued me 

 Love called my name 

 Love took my place 

 Sweet Lamb of God 

 I’m bowing down 

 My eyes have seen 

 I’m finally free 

 Love came for me 

 This manger King 

 My everything 

 Love came for me
