Now let this love, the love of Christ, Support, sustain the weak; Supply the love to build the church, And care for all God’s sheep.
Love Prevails when all else fails! Love never fails.
Lord, infuse us with more of Love, more of Yourself. Our love is limited, our love is selective, but YOURS COVERS, BENDS, ENDURES ALL THINGS!
I first heard and enjoyed this with thousands of other Jesus lovers at the 2023 NACT. The Lord reminded me of this hymn recently. How we need more of His love in a time where division and self-interest permeate our age.
"Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God, and everyone who loves has been begotten of God and knows God." (1 John 4:7)
