Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art

1
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
None compares with Thee, none on earth or heav’n,
God yet man, most beautiful One!
How I longed to vanish in Thee
When Thy tender voice came to me.
All past loves forsaking most joyfully,
I’d just love Thee — wholeheartedly.
  Who in all the world is as fair as Thee?
Or who else can love so romantic’ly?
Oh, most holy One, now You live in me!
Jesus Lord, I deeply love Thee!
No more trusting self, nor deceived I’d be;
I’d put off my self, just be filled with Thee;
Oh, let all apart from Thee fade and flee;
My one love, my best love, is Thee.
2
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
I was once rebellious and hard,
But I drop it all now to come to Thee,
Self forsake, that like Thee I’d be.
When I live, be it Thou, I pray,
Not self’s will, but God’s I’d obey;
To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I’d seek;
No more struggling, fully at peace.
3
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
We two never, ever will part;
Thy dear presence is all my breath and might;
Thy dear smile is all my delight.
I would pour my heart out to Thee,
Love Thee, serve Thee, joined utterly;
My eternal portion, dear Lord, is Thee;
My one hope, Thy coming to see.

Lord Jesus! None compares with Thee,

Thou alone so full of worth! So fair and sweet! To none else I'd cling, Lord, but Thee.

The Lord's love is so constraining! Though our "heart is oft not subdued", but "deep within" we "know He's our only love"!!!

"All past loves are gone Lord when You found me and when I found You...Deep within my heart I am just longing for You. Deep within You're my only love. People may not understand it but Lord I have seen Your beauty and none can compare to it. To behold Your face is my heart's desire. How Thy love my heart deeply fills...My eternal portion, most precious Lord...None but Thee I want evermore. I long for that day that I will see You face to face... Lord, I don't know another way apart from You."

We sang this song and memorized it on our trip with the Filipino saints from Vietnam to Cambodia to Thailand when we joined the international conference in Cambodia from Jan 26 to 28. It was a wonderful blending and this song was very much a part of it. May He be our BEST LOVE, TRUE LOVE, ONLY LOVE.
