(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-card!)
Love pours from my heart
 Love streams from me to You
In response to the love You give
What else, Lord, can I but do?
For You, my God, are love
Beautiful, eternal and vast
Sweet to those who know You
The I AM, the First and Last
Joyfully my heart sings for You
Gratefully my lips sing of love
Thankfully I lift my arms in prayer
Rejoicing in my Father Above
Your love is deeper than oceans
Your love spans higher than the sky
You love extends beyond the universe
This love I receive – but who am I?
Who am I, Lord, that You love me?
Who am I to receive such wondrous favor?
Your creation, Your handmaiden, I am
And Your sweet love I will always savor
Who am I that Christ should die for me?
Who am I that He should suffer so?
Undeserving yet beloved I am
Yes, this love His Cross does show
Kneeling at the foot of the Cross then
With my dear Lord at Calvary
The breadth, depth and height of Your love
In Your pierced feet and hands I see
Blood and water gushing forth
Cleanings the sins of all who believe
No greater gift of love can we ask
No sweeter love can we receive
And love pours from my heart
Love streams from me to You
In response to the love You give
What else, Lord, can I but do?
You died for me, my precious Lord
Yes, this is how much You love me so
For eternity I will love You, my God
May my life of Your love always show

    “My life of your love”- may we be so consumed with His love that we live a life that reflects His love.
    I am the love of the great I AM! LORD please make it so!

    • http://PurposefulPathway.com Caroline Gavin

      AMEN! I join you in this lovely prayer!
      Yes, may we be so fully immersed in HIM that others see HIM when they see us!
      Grant that I am – as you wrote beautifully – the love of the great I AM!
      God bless you and your ministry richly, dear brother Tom!!!

      AMEN!! Thank you so very much, Tom, and I join you in asking the LORD to be consumed with His love! Yes, may our living indeed be LOVING! How wondrous that God Himself is love, and that He dwells within us. Yes, let us ever reflect His radiant love and light!

    Going to the cross is where I need to be. I am so inspired by your poetry and feel the warmth of His love wrapping around me when I read it. Thanks so much.

      Wow, Kim! Such a heart-warming comment! Thank you very much – and your reaction is an answer to prayer! I long for my poetry to bring others to Christ’s arms. So glad you could feel His love embrace you, and I pray you continue to savor the His precious Presence! God bless you, dear sister in Christ!

    Caroline, your poetry, as always, is so beautiful!
    Thank you for writing of our Lord’s Love!
    I love especially this stanza:

    Blood and water gushing forth
    Cleanings the sins of all who believe
    No greater gift of love can we ask
    No sweeter love can we receive
