O love that wilt not let me go

Fyfe November 27, 2014 0 0

1John 4: 9-10

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.  This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

O love that wilt not let me go

1. O Love that will not let me go, 
I rest my weary soul in thee; 
I give thee back the life I owe, 
That in thine ocean depths its flow 
May richer, fuller be.

2. O light that followest all my way, 
I yield my flickering torch to thee; 
My heart restores its borrowed ray, 
That in thy sunshines blaze its day 
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain, 
I cannot close my heart to thee; 
I trace the rainbow through the rain, 
And feel the promise is not vain, 
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head, 
I dare not ask to fly from thee; 
I lay in dust lifes glory dead, 
And from the ground there blossoms red 
Life that shall endless be.

 

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, as I walk though this day with you,
as I take up my cross, may I count all things joy.
May you be my rock and refuge, my anchor and safe haven.
May your will be done though me.
The grace I pray for is to serve you with joy this day
and be a blessing among those I encounter this day. Amen.
