Here is love. [ 1 John 4 v 9-10]

I thank God for those dear gifted and spiritual people,who have written hymns and spiritual songs.The church has always had those who have blessed  us ,as in the OT,we have the Psalms.they are unique,as they are Gods word set to music.The modern hymns and songs have blessed us,they are not Gods word,but they point us to God,and help us to give expression to our longings ,desire after God,our love for our God and Saviour.I want to
leave a hymn with you today,its a modern one,written by William Rees,I hope it will bless you as it has me.
                               
                                  Here is love vast as the ocean,
                                  Loving kindness as the flood,
                                  When  the Prince of Life,our ransom
                                  Shed for us His precious blood.
                                  Who His will not remember?
                                  He can never be forgotten
                                  Throughout heaven's eternal days.

                                  On the Mount of Crucifixion
                                  Fountains opened deep and wide;
                                  Through the floodgates of Gods mercy
                                  Flowed a vast and gracious tide.
                                  Grace and love,like mighty rivers,
                                  Poured incessant from above,
                                  And heaven's peace and perfect justice
                                  Kissed a guilty world in love.
