The Great, Great Love of God

Pastor Jon has been teaching through the Attributes of God. The most recent messages have been on the attribute of Love. God's love is a great mystery. Why would He, the ultimate expression of good, deign to set His affection on the meanest of the mean and the vilest of the low. Why would the Father choose a bride for His Son among the commonest of sinners? I wrote this CM poem while meditating on this matchless, boundless love.

Christ Jesus gave His all for me,
So great His wondrous love.
Though once from Him I tried to flee,
He sought me from above.

Though naught had I to offer Him,
Yet still He freely gave.
Though selfish and besot with sin,
Yet He my soul did save.

Through grace He op'ed my blinded eye,
His light He bid to see,
He raised from death where I did lie,
My soul gave liberty.

Love's fulness I can ne'er express,
Or sound the depth thereof;
But this I know and do confess:
How great is Jesus' love!
