My heart sings, Your praise, Oh Lord

Of a love so beyond compare

A love so complex – yet so very simple,

It boggles our finite minds,

where we almost stare.

Your Love offers a gift like

none other given;

The life of Your Son upon a tree

A love that knew no bounds

As the Arms of Heaven

reached out and said,

“Please child come to Me!”

A love that expands and ingratiates

Into hearts that were once cold stone,

Hearts that now warm Heaven’s portals

As they walk upon the streets of gold.

A love that steps right up

And says, “Try Me out and you will see”

A love given by a Heavenly Father

Yes, given to a land of people – full of need.

This Love still grows and reaches out . . .

eager hearts can clearly see

That only a Tender Loving God

could grow a tree

On which His Only Son would die,

To offer a true love sacrifice

 that would save you and me.
