What Love Displayed

Words: Jesse Rey Quesada & Bryan Jeffrey Lee. Music: Bryan Jeffrey Lee.

What love displayed, ye sons of men,
By Jesus Christ, the King.
He came to be our substitute –
Eternal life to bring.
Not for the righteous did He come
To suffer on the tree,
But for the wretched, sinful ones;
He bled for you and me.

What confidence, ye purchased ones,
Of our salvation won.
The Spirit is our guarantee –
Adopted and called sons.
Soon, He who raised our blessed Lord,
Christ Jesus, from the grave
Will raise us too, by that same pow'r,
Unto His glorious praise.

What hope we have, ye sons of God,
For heav'n's eternal day.
Afflictions pale in that great light –
Our earthly sorrows stayed.
For momentary light distress
Can never be compared
With Christ's reward which waits for us –
His glories then to share.

What joy we'll have, O watchful saints,
When Jesus comes again.
Death swallowed up in victory;
The pow'r of sin will end.
We see in part, within this veil;
We strain with eyes of faith.
But when He comes, we'll be like Him,
And see Him face to face.
