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.

O Lord, I love You.

No more I who live, no more self-deceived,

No more in the self's world, vanity, indulged to be!

No more I who live, no more self-deceived,

No more in the self's world indulged to be,

Deep within I know You're my only love,

My best love is none else but Thee!

Lord Jesus, make Your home more in our hearts so we may love You more and more each day!

Everytime I hear this hymn I can't stop the tears falling from my eyes. Tears of joy because I know that deep within the Lord is my only love. He is worthy of all my love. I just love Him! Lord, I just love You! Though I have many shortcomings and failures but what I know that deep within my heart, He's my only love.

The Lord should have our first love that is our best love. This hymn ushers every genuine believer, who will sing from their heart and spirit to the Lord, to give The Lord the rightful place in our heart and lives that is the first place and to gain our best love. May the Lord shine on us that we may get rid of every rock in our heart that hinders the Lord as the seed of life to grow in our heart to every part of our being. Lord Jesus draw us we will run after You!

No one compares with the Lord. We can be like Paul in Gal. 2:20 if we can enjoy the Lord, if we can taste His sweetness, at that time we can say that "no more I who live, no more self deceived." Amen.

Oh my Lord, You're the only love I know, with my best love I love You so. I really love this song because it always reminds me of my consecration towards Him. His love never fades nor grown old. It becomes fresher and fresher its day.
