"Matchless Love" was written by Karla and several of us cried the first time we heard it. She had heard an evangelist preaching a moving message about the love of God. When he made the statement, "Oh, matchless love…," she was struck by that thought. She jotted it down in her notebook. A few months later during the Easter season, she came across the statement and sat down to write this tender ballad.
This one is a testimony of the incredible love Jesus showed by dying on the cross for us. Karla, whose powerful voice carried us on many of the other tunes, mutes that power to sing the moving solo on this song.
(Chorus)
Oh, matchless love, come down for me
When I was lost, no hope for me
You took my place, of shame, disgrace
Oh, matchless love and grace
Oh, what
an awful price
What a great sacrifice
God came to earth for my sins
On up to Calvary, Jesus He died for me
Oh, what sweet love He gave
(Repeat Chorus)
It wasn't
nails that held my Lord there
It was His love for me,
Blood flowed like water, down His face of sorrow
What matchless love He showed
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh, matchless
love and grace
Oh, matchless love and grace
