The best love for the Lord

1
Loving You, Lord’s all I’m living for;
Loving You, Lord, to the uttermost.
Lord, forgive me if I’ve left my first love,
That’s the bridal love to You.
You are more than any one I love.
You are more than anything I have,
Even my dear self; nothing can compare
To my beloved Bridegroom.
  I give You the first place in all things by faith.
Let nothing take Your place in all my heart.
Infuse me with Yourself abundantly
’Til we meet, dear Lord.
I’ll love You with the best love.
2
You’ve the right to take all that I love,
But replace it with Yourself much more.
You are what I need, give Yourself to me,
Do not give all that I want.
Everything is sure to pass away,
Everyone is going their own way.
But I still have You and You have me too,
Loving one another’s sweet.
3
I treasure my time alone with You,
Just to gain the best love You long for.
My dearest Husband, draw me with Yourself
Into Your chambers right now.
Be the first in all my work and life,
Be the first in all my service too.
In relationships, You must be the first;
Have preeminence in me.

O LORD JESUS, WE LOVE YOU LORD ABOVE ALL THINGS! Praise the Lord that this song reminds us that we are the loving seekers of God! We should Love Him In all Things by faith! There is no other way is so prevailing unless we love Him!

AC from Canada wrote a comment that truly touches the feeling that spontaneously wells in me with this beautiful, heart-recovering hymn. We may be in a personal "Laodicea", wretched and naked and blind, and be numb to the slightest realization of it. What a gracious gift it is to receive that poignant light which causes our sad heart to repent, to turn to the One in whose light-beams we find the grace of His love, tenderly touching the blind eyes and in our new found vision of WHO He really is and who we really are, we might embrace Him as our covering and kiss Him tenderly, washing His feet with our tears.

This song has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life. There is no problem with the Lord's love toward us. His love is knowledge surpassing. The problem is with our love toward Him. Like the church in Ephesus, losing our first love will result in degradation. Once we realize this, we must repent. Light will bring in more of the abundant supply of life, which will enable us to love our dear Lord Jesus again.

I was looking for a song "Lord, forgive me" to ask Lord for everything I do and turn to my spirit... This was the first song that came up and I was so touched that it does not matter what I did or do... as much as that I've left my first love... Lord, forgive me that I've left my first love. I give you the first place in all things by faith. Draw me Lord. Amen.

Everything is sure to pass away,

Everyone is going their own way.

But I still have You and You have me too,

Loving one another's sweet.
