What Great Love Is This?!? (Adoption)

From the beginning, Scripture tells the story of the restoration of the children of God

Let's get in it

Dude, please turn the page

Adam was a human son of God it says in Luke 3:38

He was made in His likeness, created as righteous

As God's son, he knew His embrace and His brightness

But Adam's sin so exiled from His presence

Plus his sin now has defiled his descendents

So Israel was God's son, out of Egypt I called you

And so were the kings of Judah, read it in Psalm 2

But they all were exiled for their wicked grievous sins

Disqualified from sons by their disobedience

But we're all God's children often they echo

But by nature we're children of wrath, our father's the devil

And he wanted our death like we're his abortions

Cut off from the Father, spiritual orphans

No rights as sons, any righteous? None

The Father's only pleased with what Christ has done

Oh, what great love is this

That the Father gave his obedient Son to take the punishment?

For the sons of disobedience

So our new status as sons is won, he gives us Jesus's

See what kind of love that the Father's given us

So we live it up as sons with privileges

See what kind of love that the Father's given us

We've been forgiven much so our life, we give it up

Christ was baptized then you hear the Father speak this

This is my Son in whom I'm well pleased with

His words were certain, was born of a virgin

He surely was perfect, yeah the worthiest servant

The Son was with the Father in eternity past

He perfectly grasped His role as Son

You can check His purpose and path

Was intimate with the Father, he worshiped and fast

All of His day he always obeyed

Honest like Abe, we deserved to be smashed

He was offering praise but then He fervently asked

For the cup to pass but the Father was turning His back

He was cursed on behalf of us so we wouldn't burn in the chaff

Yet He averted His wrath and Satan the serpent was smashed

Now I can go to the Father and make my fears known

Jesus is God's Son, not Nasir Jones

My Lord is blood-dripped and it poured abundant

His work on the cross is surely what secures our sonship

Oh, what great love is this

That the Father gave his obedient Son to take the punishment?

For the sons of disobedience

So our new status as sons is won, he gives us Jesus's

See what kind of love that the Father's given us

So we live it up as sons with privileges

See what kind of love that the Father's given us

We've been forgiven much so our life, we give it up

My thoughts are wild, yeah they're rotten, foul

I know my sins list long but Christ tossed the files

By faith in Him, I'm an adopted child

Plus thanks to Him, I always have the Father's smile

Christ pleased the Father, he is the Potter

The sonship includes the ladies because she's His daughter

He is so mighty, I seem so tiny

But His Word says I am an heir, no Nike

The fullness of the kingdom that He's building abroad

Is for the freedom of the glory of the children of God

Raised up in the glorified bodies He bought them

Sons of God in the fullness of adoption

We'll praise the Father for His works, believer

In the New Earth, the Son will be our worship leader

Towards His children, yo He'll never have disgust

Cause His love for His Son is the love He has for us

Oh, what great love is this

That the Father gave his obedient Son to take the punishment?

For the sons of disobedience

So our new status as sons is won, he gives us Jesus's

See what kind of love that the Father's given us

So we live it up as sons with privileges

See what kind of love that the Father's given us

We've been forgiven much so our life, we give it up

Say Abba (Abba!) Father (Father!)

Daddy (Daddy!) Gladly (Gladly!)

Yeah so bangin' because God the Son became the perfect human son of God that Adam and then Israel were supposed to be. And through His death and resurrection, He qualifies us to be sons and daughters of the Father and He's given us the Spirit of adoption to know the Father's love and be conformed into the image of the Son

Yo, that's rowdy!

Praise the Father!
