TESTAMENTS OF LOVE

Testaments of Love

Oh, I love Thee my great God and Father
Thou Who led Thy chosen people from captivity
With a booty in their hand
Thou Who bore patiently with their unblelief

In route to the Promised Land
Thou Who destroyeth all their enemies
In that place of milk and honey
Thou Who offereth salvation and satisfaction

For neither price nor money
Thou Who guideth each tiny sparrow
In its landings and its flight
Thou Who directeth galaxies

And giveth sun and moon and stars their light
Thou Who gavest Thy Only Begotten Son
To bear Thy wrath and our sin to make us with Thee one

I wonder, gracious Father
How could I have failed to love Thee for so long?!
