A meaningful telling of the story of salvation, this text notes the love of God for us, which is carried into the Christian life to be shared with others. This piece is arranged for two-part mixed choir with piano by Mark Knickelbein. The active accompaniment underlies a charming, memorable melody. The versatile new text by Lisa M. Clark is appropriate for many occasions, including Christmas, Lent, and general use.
No stranger love the world has knownThat God would leave His gleaming throneTo dwell with sinners on the earth,A crying Babe of virgin birth.
No stranger love the world has seenThat God would live a life so meanTo toil and suffer on the land And sow the seeds with His own hand.
No stranger love the world has gainedThat God would bear a body stainedTo shake and tremble, soon to dieAnd save us with a final sigh.
No stranger love the world can hearThat God would send His children dearTo spread the truth in word and deed— Through God's own Love, we now are freed.
