2. The Lord chose you to be a part

Of His great plan, His work of art.

What wonder! What a privilege—

To satisfy—

His yearning to share all He is—

Divine, unsearchable riches!

What wisdom, multifarious expressed?

3. As we enjoy and enter in—

To all He is then we’ll begin—

To understand the feeling in

His heart toward us.

What love that motivated Him!

To come to us, despite our sin

Why did He go and sell all that He had?

Why did Christ die for us? Why did God become a man? Why did Christ do all these things for us? Why does He love us? Why does God arrange all things in our environment so that we may return to Him? It is because He wants us to be His church, His counterpart, to match Him fully!
