God’s Immeasurable Love ~

God’s love for me,
is unfathomable . . .
for, His love for me
is immeasurable.

 His love rises,
higher than the sky
it goes further than . . .
any space shuttle can fly.

God’s  love for me
is unbelievable . . .
for, His love for me
is undeniable.

His love goes deeper,
than the ocean’s floor
it goes further than . . .
any miner can dig for ore.

God’s love for me
is unexplainable . . .
for, His love for me
is unconceivable.

His love is wider,
than the whole universe
it goes further than . . .
any light the stars can disperse.

There’s nothing about me,
that is lovable . . .
yet, God’s love for me
is unstoppable!

The Scope of God’s Love ~

If I had a microscope,
I know I couldn’t see
just how humongous
Jesus’ love is for me.

If I had a telescope,
I know I couldn’t see
just how massive
Jesus’ love is for me.

If I had a periscope,
I know I couldn’t see
just how fathomless
Jesus’ love is for me.

If I had a spectroscope,
I know I couldn’t see
just how magnificent
Jesus’ love is for me.

If I had a depth finder,
I know I couldn’t see
a deeper love than the one
Jesus has for me!

which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled
with all the fulness of God.

Oh, To Know the Love ~

Oh, to know the love of God,
and the peace in all things
is to understand the grace
of what a dying Savior brings.

Oh, to know the love of God,
that forgives us of our sin
is to understand the mercy
that flows from deep within.

Oh, to know the love of God,
and the promise of eternal life
is to understand the compassion
it took to end mankind’s strife.

Oh, to know the love of God,
that heals, restores and renews
is to understand the promises
flowing throughout the Good News.

Oh, to know the love of God,
that one cannot earn or buy
is to come understand
why Jesus . . .  had to die!

The Love of Jesus ~

The love of Jesus,
baffles my mind
for it’s a love like
no other I can find.

I can’t understand,

too hard to contain.

I cannot grasp,

for, it lives in the hearts
of all who let Him dwell.

The Vastness of God’s Love ~

Lord, how can I explain,
the vastness of Your love
it’d be as hard as counting
all the stars that shine above.

For in my human mind,
I cannot begin to understand
how the greatness of Your love
over the universe can span.

Lord, how can I explain,
all the reasons You love me
it’d be as hard as measuring
all the water in every sea.

For in my human heart,
I cannot begin to comprehend
the magnitude of Your love
that seems to have no end.

Lord, how can I explain,
what I have never felt before
it’d be as hard as numbering
all the sand upon, every shore!

God Loves Us ~

We pick the daisy’s petals,
to see if we’re loved or not
we wish upon a star . . .
hoping our dreams are caught.

We rub a rabbit’s foot,
hoping love comes our way
we kiss a toad in hopes . . .
it turns into a prince one day.

We toss a penny in a well,
wishing love will finally come
we cross our fingers in hope
our heart-strings it will strum.

We look for the golden key,
to open our heart’s lonely door
we seek the rainbow’s end
hoping true love we will score.

We pick the daisy’s petals,
to see if we’re loved or not
but, we know God loves us . . .
for our lives, Jesus bought!

There He Is ~

There He is . . .
I knew He’d be there for me
I knew if I called out to Him
there He, would surely be.

There He is . . .
His arms are open wide
calling me to come to Him
to put faith, in my stride.

There He is . . .
yes, Jesus is right here
reaching out His hands
beckoning, for me to near.

There He is . . .
calling out to me, my name
letting me know my fears
His perfect love will tame.

There He is . . .
do you see Jesus too?
All you have to do is look
He is waiting there for you!

Free Love ~

 

God’s love is free of charge,
there are no strings attached
there’s nothing you need to do

you are near, aloof, or far.

God’s love is sacrificial,
He gave His only begotten Son
not just to a few chosen . . .
but to each and everyone.

God’s love is accessible,
to anyone who will believe
~ Jesus died for their sins ~
forgiveness they will receive.

God’s love is nonjudgmental,
He wishes not one soul to perish
eternal life He offers all
if Jesus, you love and cherish.

God’s love is free of charge,
there are no strings attached

TLC Needed ~

Lord, I’m in need,
of some TLC . . .
so I asking You
to send some to me.

You see now-a-days,
it’s so hard to find
I don’t think it’s on
other people’s mind.

Everyone’s so busy,
doing what they do
I’m beginning to believe
they just forgot how to.

Maybe they don’t remember,
how to dispense it out
I may be wrong . . .
but, I still got my doubts.

Lord, I’m in need,
of some TLC . . .
and I know You have
plenty of it for me!

The Mystery of God’s Love ~

Lord, I cannot illustrate,
the mystery of Your love
for it rises higher than the moon
hanging onto the skies above.

I cannot measure it,
not the distance or the length
I cannot grasp it . . .
not its power or its strength.

I cannot calculate it,
not the width or the depth
I cannot fathom it . . .
without holding in my breath.

I cannot explain it,
not how far or how near
I cannot clarify it . . .
though I can feel it here.

I cannot imagine it,
beyond what my eyes can see
and yet I am amazed . . .
to infinity ~ You love me.

Lord, I cannot illustrate.
Your lovingkindess from above
but, I know I cannot live  . . .
without Your everlasting love!

Because He First Loved Me ~

I lift my eyes heavenward,
till I envision in my mind
the glory that’s awaiting me
the day with my Lord I’ll be

My heart swells up with joy,
a chorus of praise begins
for all my God, has done for me
for all, when with Him I’ll be.

I feel the burning in my soul,
as my trust begins to flare
I know my hope will carry me
till the day with my God I’ll be.

My spirit sings sweet melodies,
eternal peace they usher in
oh, the bliss that’s awaiting me
on the day with my Savior I’ll be.

I lift my eyes heavenward,
till I envision in my mind
the day with my Lord I will be
all because He first loved me!

Unconditional Love

~

Once I was lost,
out looking for love
everywhere else
but from above.

I thought I’d find,
something real
but true contentment
I could never feel.

I didn’t believe,
love couldn’t be found
I had plenty to give
but, none was inbound.

Now I have love,
deeper than man can give
for they ~ know not how
to forget and forgive.

Once I was lost,
then I looked to God above
and I found in Jesus . . .
true, unconditional love!

The Love of God ~

May you know the love of God,
in all of its glory and fullness
may you uncover its very depth
and the meaning of His richness.

May you discover the love of God,
in all of its purity and loveliness
may you perceive its very height
and be filled with His faithfulness.

May you sense the love of God,
in all of its peace and kindness
may you feel its very breadth
and be calmed by His tenderness.

May you discern the love of God,
in all of its grace and gentleness
may you detect its very length
and behold all of His mercifulness.

May you love the Lord, your God,
with all of your heart and soul
may you come to Him right now
and let Him make your life whole!

Endless Love ~

God’s love is endless,
we cannot measure it
in the entire universe
not all of it, would fit.

The expansiveness,
of the world around us
can’t contain all His love
it would ooze and gush.

Even in the vastness,
of the space above
could the totality of it
be filled with His love.

The earth and seas,
and all that is below
could not hold His love
for it would overflow.

God’s love is endless,
the lost cannot fathom it
but for those who know Him
it is a perfect fit!

~~~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 3:18-19
