RETURN TO SLIDE SHOW
the challenge of “And Can It Be” was to portray a boldness yet not a boasting, and a marveling but yet a certainty about our salvation by grace. In color, texture, and type, this work seeks to illustrate this gift, which transcends borders, cultures, and generations and is free for all to accept.

And Can It Be That I Should Gain
Charles Wesley, 1738
And can it be that I should gain an int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain? For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
’Tis myst’ry all! Th’Immortal dies: who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more.
Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
He left his Father’s throne above (so free, so infinite His grace!),
emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam’s helpless race.
’Tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me!
Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach th’eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
“But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”
—Romans 5:8
