Day 24-- Here is Love

*post for Wednesday, January 18, 2012*

The following post is the lyrics to a song that God has really used to encourage and comfort my heart here recently. I don't think any further commentary is necessary because the lyrics say it all so perfectly.

"Here is love, wide as the ocean, lovingkindness as a flood:
When the Prince of Life our ransom, shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten, throughout Heaven's eternal days.

On the mount of crucifixion, fountains opened deep and wide;
Through the floodgates of God's mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above;
And Heaven's peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love.

Of Your fullness You are pouring Your great love on me anew, 
Without measure, full and boundless, drawing out my heart to You.
You alone will be my glory; nothing in the world I see. 
You have cleansed and sanctified me;
You Yourself have set me free.

Oh, how marvelous, oh, how glorious is my Savior's love for me!
Oh, how marvelous, oh, how glorious is my Savior's love for me!"
