"For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death... " Phil 3:10 Amp

LORD, Your Love

LORD, Your love is like a sweet embrace
A rainbow in the storm
A healing salve upon my broken heart
The fire that keeps me warm
And in my times of struggle when I feel most alone
Your love for me is hope to carry on

LORD, Your love is a strong tower
Protection in the war
A safe haven from my enemies
When faith sure seems so small
And in my times of struggle when I feel most alone
Your love for me is strength to carry on

So why’s the love You planted in my heart all mixed with pain?
Is it there to keep me humble?
In desperate need of grace?
‘Cause sometimes love is holding on
And sometimes letting go
You don’t protect me from the pain
That makes my cold heart warm

LORD, Your love brings complete healing
In You I’m made whole
You’re the God of the impossible
You cause my faith to soar
The promise of abundant life You will not ignore
‘Cause through the trials love’s sweeter than before

That’s why the love You’ve planted in my heart’s all mixed with pain
‘Cause my brokenness allows me to love others needing grace
‘Cause sometimes love is holding on
And sometimes letting go
The seed of gospel love inside my heart needs You to grow

LORD, Your love fuels my desires
You are my great reward
You invite me to come closer
You want to show me more
The promise of abundant life You have not ignored
Yes, through the trials, love’s sweeter than before
