[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
A million stars illuminate the skies
As shepherds watched their flock of sheep by night
Bethlehem of old, a prophecy foretold
There God's incarnate word took on flesh
[Pre-Chorus]
A multitude of heavenly host praised God of heaven and earth
For unto us is born, the Saviour of the world
[Chorus]
Love, magnificent love
Jesus, You came, You dwelled with us
Everlasting God and King
Yet You gave Your everything
No other worthy of outstanding praise
Love, magnificent love
Jesus, You said, "Peace be on earth"
Star of hope and majesty
Yet You came to set me free
I love because You first loved me
[Verse 2]
Darkness fell across the barren plain
As heaven watched, the Son gave up His strength
The innocent became, the Lamb who took my shame
No greater love than this for you and me
[Bridge: Spoken]
Lord, may we be able to comprehend
The width, length, depth and height
Of Your magnificent love
And be filled with all Your fullness
Amen
[Chorus]
Love, magnificent love
Jesus, You came, You dwelled with us
Everlasting God, mighty King
Yet You gave Your everything
No other worthy of outstanding praise
Love, magnificent love
Jesus, You said, "Peace be on earth"
Star of hope and majesty
Yet You came to set me free
I love because You first loved me
I love because You first loved me
