LESSON IN LOVE

Higher than the highest mountain
deeper than the deepest sea,
is the love of Jesus Christ
that He gives to you and me.

In all the books in all the world
there are no words to describe,
His gentleness, His tenderness
His total lack of pride.

But for all His love and caring
He was not repaid in kind,
mankind’s hatred and rejection
was all that He did find.

The only way that He could save them
was to die upon the Cross,
He hung in pain and suffered
till all His blood was lost.

By His obedience and loyalty
to His Father up above,
He taught us how we all should live
He taught us how we all should love.
