What is stronger than a mother’s love for the baby at her breast?
What removes my stain and sin as far as east from west?
What outlasts heaven and earth, the stars in outer space?
What can melt the hardest heart with just the smallest trace?
What is God and God is what can you tell me friend?
What is that thing, that precious thing that covers a host of sin?
What’s in our soul worth more than gold, but can’t be bought or sold?
What can’t be seen, heard or touched, but vanquishes dark and cold?
What brought the King of heaven down and nailed Him to a cross?
What for this mighty King of kings I count all things as loss?
What is it that a legion of demons or angels cannot take?
What is it that mere life or death will never, ever break?
What is it that present or future will not let be moved from us?
What is it that height nor depth can’t change what we must trust?
What defies all power in all creation to remove this special gift?
What can’t be held when one does own it, not in the tightest fist?
What was given to me, that caused me to see, yet given to the world?
What thing of beauty, trumps law and duty, God’s nature is unfurled?
What kind of man would reject this plan that imparts both mercy and grace?
What is hell, I pray do tell, its absence defines that place?
What soul would go, when they might know, a portion, oh so scant?
What tiny seed grows with great speed, to become the greatest plant?
What must I speak, for you to seek, this pearl of sublime price?
What will it take, for you to make, this wondrous thing your life?
What I do say, and constantly pray, that it you would embrace.
What I know now, but don’t know how, in my heart it’s found a place.
What is good, what is true, what you think, what you do.
What you leave on this earth, what things by this you give birth?
What gives peace, what gives joy, what a power to employ?
What’s the wonder of it all, what has saved us from our fall?
What I really want to know is why my God Loves me so?
Tertius
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.
Whoever lives in love lives in God and God in them.
1 John 4:16
A note about “Agape”: My favorite term, Philo means brotherly love, Eros means love between a man and a woman and Agape is God’s Love for man. One of my favorite verses is what I call the jumbo verse; Luke 7:47 (a 747 was a jet plane that was nicknamed a jumbo) “Therefore, I tell you her many sins have been forgiven-for she loved much. But he has been forgiven little loves little.” The forgiveness I have received would not have been possible without Agape. Thank you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
