Sorrow And Love Together

 

 

We, like our Saviour must be this world’s SALT

He in whom the Father knew not one fault,

Jesus, God’s Son, whose love surpasses all,

Human, tried and tested, He did not fall,

Fall to all the evils that came His way,

Where He knew deepest sorrow, hear Him pray,

Father, if You will, let this cup be gone,

Yet not My will, for Your will must be done,

Love took on the world’s sin - all yours and mine,

Christ’s sorrow was so great, words can’t define,

God had to send down angels from heaven,

Our weak, sorrowing Saviour to strengthen, 

As He in anguish, prayed more earnestly,

Sweat, like drops of blood, fell copiously:

Was not earth Love’s sacrificial altar?

Was this not Sorrow And Love Together?

 

Just like our Master, we are the world’s SALT,

In life or in death, there is no default,

Jesus, who in life, surpassed every test,

Now in death shows Love at its very best,

For Love is of God and it cannot die,

No matter how hard sin’s evils apply

Its pressures and forces, in ways severe,

Love’s Spirit, in victory, will persevere,

Yes, e’en in death for no death can Love hold,

Listen to what the Scriptures have us told,

To make sure Jesus on that cross was dead,

They broke no feet, they pierced His side instead,

Suddenly there flowed out water and blood,

All mixed together, Love’s outpouring flood:

Earth is still Love’s sacrificial altar,

Indeed, it’s Sorrow And Love Together?

Amen!
