STORY
I used to sing this song in my room as a young teenager. It was recorded from a record onto a tape and I wore that tape out! I didn?t know how to play very well at the time.
Years passed by. There?s no telling what happened to that tape. But years later, the Lord brought this song back into my spirit. Miraculously, I remembered all the words
and the tune. The only difference being that I had enough piano skills to play it.
It?s one of my favorites originally sung by Danniebelle Hall.
LYRICS
What kind of love is this?
He has bestowed on me
I am a child of God
And I speak of a mystery
I don't how it is
Or how it should be - oh, no
But this one thing I know, yeah
That when His face I see
I shall be like Him
For I shall know Him
In all of His beauty and glory
I shall behold Him
And I'll trade this robe of flesh for immortality
Then I can tell you, I'll tell you
How this love can be
What kind of love is this?
How could He love me so?
How could He send His only Son into this world of woe?
What made my Savior die?
He died up there on that cruel cross
How could He bare my shame
Lord, how could You suffer my loss?
It's a precious mystery
You shall return for me
And together we'll share our love throughout all eternity
And I'm gona trade this robe of flesh
Trade it in for immortality
Oh, then I can tell you, I'll tell you
How this love can be.
