Was Ever Love as Great as This?

I found the following poem this morning as I was preparing to preach from Hebrews 6:1-3.
I searched the web to find music to go with the words in hopes that we as a local assembly could learn a new song with great words.
My search for music was futile but I did find the author of the poem to be Pastor Charles Seet of Singapore. Brother Seet has composed a number of poems that will prompt the reader to marvel at the great grace of God. "Was Ever Love as Great as This? is worth reading and reflecting upon

WAS EVER LOVE AS GREAT AS THIS?

Was ever love as great as this:
That God, enthroned on high
Should all His heav'nly glories miss
To come to earth and die?

Was ever love as great as this:
What man can comprehend
How One with spotless Holiness
Can be a sinner's friend?

Was ever love as great as this:
Who wore the crown of thorn;
Whose loving eyes were brimmed with tears
While men laughed Him to scorn?

Was ever love as great as this:
That paid the deadly price
To buy unworthy souls from sin
With one full sacrifice?

Was ever love as great as this:
That seeks the erring sheep
And labours on with burning zeal
In spite of mountains steep?

Was ever love as great as this:?
That pleads for me below
And as my High, devoted Priest
Make blessings overflow?

Was ever love as great as this?
What words can fully show
The height, and length, the depth and width
Of love I long to know?
