Christ's fourfold revolution

Reflect on Christ’s fourfold revolution by worshiping Jesus using the music and words of Charles Wesley’s hymn “And Can It Be.” Click here.

Declare out loud the words below as one form of a prayerful response for all Jesus has done for you.

Pray that the reality of these words might revolutionize the life of God’s people in a genuine Christ awakening—first among Christ followers where you live, then for believers throughout the Church worldwide, and finally through the expanding impact of the gospel among the nations.

1 And can it be that I should gain
An int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?

Refrain:
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me!

2 'Tis mystery all! Th'Immortal dies!
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain, the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine!
'Tis mercy all! let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain]

3 He left His Father's throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain]

4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. [Refrain]

5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus and all in Him is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold, I approach th'eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own. [Refrain]
