God's Love
The love among God's people
Reaches from heart to heart,
With an unconditional caring
Only Christ can impart.
Not a product of mortal man,
But of the Living Word,
Without it, mere sounding brass
And tinkling cymbals are heard.
The very first fruit of the Spirit-
The first and greatest command:
"Love God with all your heart,
And then your fellow man."
Only because He first loved us
Can we love our Lord at all,
The shed blood on Calvary
Broke down the middle wall.
Love's the fulfilling of the law,
There is no other way,
But to walk in the Holy Spirit,
Bearing His fruit each day.
Oh, what blessings bestowed
Within the believer's soul-
The warm flame of God's Love
Never shall grow cold.
"...the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
(Rom.5:5)
