When sin is abound, Grace is more abundant.

 **"Where Sin Abounded"**  

*A Hymn of Superabundant Grace*  

When Adam's curse ran crimson,  

and Eden's gate swung shut—  

You spoke a softer whisper  

where all our hopes were cut:  

*"Where sin has overflowed its banks,  

My grace builds higher shores;  

Where death writes signatures in dust,  

I sign in crimson pours."*  

*(Romans 5:20-21 / Genesis 3:15)*  

See Pharaoh's host lie drowned,  

while slaves walk through the flood!  

See Rahab's cord still dangling—  

scarlet thread of God!  

Each judgment shows Your mercy deeper,  

every plague makes plain:  

*"The more they thirst, the more I'll be  

the Rock that bleeds again."*  

*(Exodus 14:28 / Joshua 2:18)*  

O thief upon the gibbet,  

O Magdalene at feast—  

what arithmetic of heaven  

makes last be first, least most?  

The Law's stern *"Guilty!"* thunders,  

but from the Judge's side  

flows deeper cry: *"Forgiven!"*  

where Grace and wrath collide.  

*(Luke 23:43 / Matthew 26:13)*  

Now let all hell protest it—  

this scandal too immense:  

that where we drowned in darkness,  

His tides grow more intense!  

The cross our endless Exodus,  

the tomb our Red Sea road—  

*"Abyss of sin? Then deeper still  

My ocean-load of God!"*  

*(1 Timothy 1:14 / John 1:16)*
