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!

with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

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!

God is Love ~

 

God is love,
it’s undeniably true
He wants you to know
how much He loves you.

God loves you,
for who you are
He loves you up close
and from afar.

His love is forever,
it will never depart
He loves you today
with all of His heart.

God loves you right now,
tomorrow too. . .
for, His love is eternal
it will always be true.

God is love,
this you mustn’t deny
He brings new life
on this you can rely!

This Peace ~

There is  this peace,
washing over me
I can’t explain . .
what I can’t see.

I cannot grasp,
nor comprehend
but I can sense
it’s without end.

I feel a calmness,
a deep tranquility
I’m being bathed
with eternal serenity.

I know its coming,
from God up above
for, He’s drenching me
in His perfect love.

There is this peace,
I can’t explain it . . .
but, I know its flowing
from the Holy Spirit!

Joyfully Awed ~

Joy banishes all fear,
removes any doubt
joy that is everlasting
cannot be cast out.

Joy is the Good News,
a Savior has come
joy opens the door
to His eternal kingdom.

Joy that is great,
brings endless gladness
joy that is mighty
brings to all happiness.

Joy is for everyone,
to have and behold
this kind of joy
is heavenly gold.

Joy sets free a sinner,
brings glory to God
all who come to Jesus
will be joyfully awed!

which shall be to all people.”
