The Greatest Love of All

Oh the Passion, Oh the wonder,
of the fiery love of Christ.
King of Glory on the altar.
Perfect lamb of sacrifice.
Who are we that He would love us?
Who but He would give His life?
Oh the Passion, Oh the wonder,
of the fiery love of Christ.
Oh the wisdom, Oh the wonder,
of the power of the cross.
Love so rare no words could tell it.
Life himself has died for us.
Who are we that He would save us?
Crucified to give us life.
Oh the wisdom, Oh the wonder,
Of the power of the cross
-Sheila Walsh

John 15:12-13

When you smile, I share your joy
When you are hurting, I ache for you
When you laugh, I delight in you
When you fall, I will lift you up
And when you look at me,
You will see how deeply I love you.
~
Ephesians 2:4-5
~
You love me again today, Lord?
Where do you find this love?
Is there no depth to the well that is you?
There is no depth to the well of need that is in me.
So I come again and again and again and again
Fresh water pours over me, washes me, and restores
the battered places.
Battered by the choices I have made
And the roles that I have played.
I worship you,
Fount of never-ending love,
God of this outrageous love,
I worship you !
~
Song of Solomon 2:10-11
