In Love

 

In Love, Jesus lifted my soul from sin,

In Love, He cleansed me without and within,

He saw a wretched sinner of no worth,

Yet in Love, He left all and came to earth,

To be my Saviour, my Lord and Master,

My One Redeemer and my Comforter.

 

In Love, Jesus came in human flesh frail,

And many my Saviour tried to assail,

From the time He was born in a manger,

His life knew constant threats, harm and danger,  

All this Jesus bore, from sin me to save,

In Love, He even went down to the grave.

 

In Love, Jesus saw my lost, grievous state,

And e’en before I could with Him relate,

When my wicked heart was not even stirred,

In Love He sought me, Precious, Living Word,

He never gave up on me a sinner,

Jesus found me and made me His winner.

 

In Love, Jesus saw all my grief and guilt,

All my ugliness, and all of my filth,

He took on Him my sins, each single one,

When over sin, death and the grave, He won,

Over all evil Love was victorious,

Wonderful, matchless, Love most glorious.

 

In Love, Jesus from sin, lifted you too,

In Love, He washed and cleansed you through and through,

He saw you a sinner wretched and lost,

In Love, to save you, He counted no cost,

He is your Lord, your Saviour, your one Way,

Why come part-way, give Him your all today?

Amen!
