Oh, the wonder of it all!
Dear Friends,
On Sunday at the funeral of a friends I heard a song I’d never heard before and thought you might find the words a blessing. It sang of God’s love as reckless and it was surely that in that it gave so much (Christ) and got so little (sinful you and me). Take some time and think over the words. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
John 3:16 (ESV)
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
RECKLESS LOVE
”Before I spoke a word
You were singing over me
You have been so, so
Good to me
Before I took a breath
You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so
Kind to me
When I was your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so
Good to me
When I felt no worth
You paid it all for me
You have been so, so
Kind to me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending,reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found,leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it
I don’t deserve it
Still You give yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending,reckless love of God”
