Unconditional Love

Unconditional love, a love like no other
Reaches out to me
Through all eternity
Incomprehensible grace accepts me completely
I surrender to Your unconditional love

Before I knew I needed You, You were there
Before I knew I was lost You found me
You gave Your life for me before I knew Your name
Before I called You “Lord”, You chose to love me

Incomparable pearl of great price
Offered to all who believe You
I lay down all claim to my life
I leave the past behind for this treasure undeserved
Acknowledge You as “Lord” and receive You

Unconditional Love


"What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?” Luke 15:4 NASB

Song Notes

Do you ever wish that you had a dramatic story to tell about your own conversion? I used to think that way. Before I became a Christian I thought I was generally “a good girl”. I had not rebelled at school, I had not been in trouble with the police and I had been brought up in a loving family – not the makings of a dramatic conversion story at all - certainly not a potential bestseller.

But as a student I was blessed with some very good Christian friends who showed me the way – showed me Jesus – and I was brought to the place where I knew that I had to make a decision: was I going to carry on being “in charge” of my life and probably make a mess of it, or was I going to follow my Lord? I thank God that I chose the latter, and I have never regretted my decision for one moment.

I was thinking about my own story one morning, and I began to realise how amazing it was. I had not known that I needed Jesus, but He knew. I had not set out to look for Him, but He looked for me and drew me to Himself. I was lost but did not know it, and He rescued me. He chose to love me before I knew He existed. That is an amazing story, and one that can be applied to all who come to know the unconditional love of God.

That is where this song began – the unconditional love of God. But there is more to being a Christian than knowing God loves you – and so we have the rest of the song, describing the need for us to turn away from our old life and accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, so that we can receive the promised “treasure” of eternal life.

We have all been on “death row”, and all who have been saved by Jesus have an amazing story to tell!
