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 near or how far
 I cannot clarify it
 for it is the Morning Star.

I cannot imagine it,
 beyond what my eyes can see
 and yet I am amazed
 that to infinity ~ You love me.

Lord, I cannot illustrate
 Your mystery from above
 and yet 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."

The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~

There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.

No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.

In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.

When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!
