Real Love For God
So few can comprehend how deep one's love for God can be
That love that grasps the tender heart and will not set it free
That sees from now the future with a joy that will not end
Those endless moments in that land with Christ our dearest Friend
So few can see past wanting to have everything right now
Possessing all the blessings without being told just how
Those blessings cost our Saviour more than we can comprehend
And therefore need to be most wise in how we choose to spend
The talents and the moments we're entrusted with while here
Investing in the future of that Kingdom that is near
When God will add the tally of the things that we have done
Reflective of the way we felt about His precious Son
To see if we were truly just what we had claimed to be
Did we possess the Spirit people needed most to see
That listened most attentively to people we would meet
To see what God would have of us to lay before His feet
As offering through how we chose to serve these one's of His
Who needed most to see the Gospel in a time like this
Through selfless acts and kind attentions to the needs they had
And words of real encouragement when they were down and sad
For really deep endearing love that God most wants to see
That gathers grace each morning from His presence on our knees
Looks for the needs in others God is wanting us to serve
Not for the signs that we suppose tell us what they deserve
For real love with our Saviour helps us do as He would do
Helps us see beyond exteriors the soul He's reaching to
And therein helps us see in them the One we love the best
The One Who has provided us that Home where we will rest
From all our worldly labors when at last He comes again
And lifts us to His throne on high no more a slave of sin
Together with those precious souls who saw His love through us
Who saw His perfect image and a heart that they could trust
That truly loved as He loved truly felt their needs at heart
And showed through selfless actions what it meant to have a part
With Jesus in His Kingdom born of love to save all men
Those lights of His in darkness 'til our Saviour comes again
Matthew 25:31-46; Romans 13:8; Galatians 5:13
