What love to Thee we owe, Our God, for all Thy grace! Our hearts may well o’erflow In everlasting praise! Make us, O God, to praise Thee thus, Make us, O God, to praise Thee thus For all Thy boundless love to us.
Given the chaos in humanity, it would be reasonable to consider that God's focus in coming would be to fix problems however, this past week in prayer, praise and with others, I realized God motivation in the incarnation and redemption was love. This hymn expresses this beautifully. Thank You dear Father God for Your boundless love to us!
Perhaps it is because of having to wear hearing aids, but the piano on this site sounds as if is gong rather than a piano, so unless I copy the music by hand, and play it on my piano, I never know what new hymns really sound like. However, the words are marvelous. Praise our our Triune God for His marvelous love and sacrifice.
Praise you Lord so much love Romans 8:39 what love! what depth, what height, nor any other creature! nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our LORD!
