Love Is Here
I’m taking a Systematic Theology class this summer. We are studying the Life and Works of Christ. It is a very intense study, one that can not be a mere academic exercise, at least not when you know Jesus intimately as Savior. This morning I am getting ready to read my chapter on Salvation. Steven was playing Christian radio in the background and this song came on. I stopped what I was doing to listen. I felt incredible gratitude to realize that because of Him, LOVE IS HERE, LOVE IS NOW, LOVE IS NEAR, indeed!
come to the waters, you who thirst and you’ll thirst no more.
come to the father, you who work and you’ll work no more.
and all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed:
love is here.
love is now.
love is pouring from
his hands, from his brows.
love is near,it satisfies.
streams of mercy flowing from his side.
cuz love is here.
come to the treasure, you who search and you’ll search no more.
come to the lover you who want and you’ll want no more, no.
and all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed,
yeah:
love is here.
love is now.
love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
love is near, it satisfies.
streams of mercy flowing from his side.
yeah
and to the bruised and fallen,
captives, bound, and broken hearted.
he is the lord
he is the lord,
yeah
by his stripes he’s paid our ransom
from his wounds we drink salvation
he is the lord
he is the lord
love is here.
love is now.
love is pouring from his hands, from his brows.
love is near,
it satisfies.
streams of mercy flowing from his side.
streams of mercy flowing from his side. cuz love is here
love is here.
Love is Here- Alleluia!
MARK 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
