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!

Jeremiah 31:3

“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me,
saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love: therefore
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!

“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me,
saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love: therefore with
 lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”
