(4 bar intro)

To love You, oh Lord my God, with all my heart and all my soul;

To love You, my Lord and God, with all my mind and all my strength;

Oh let it be my sole intent. How could I ever be content

Until I love You Lord, with everything I am?

 

You made me to love You, Lord, yet I have lived for me alone.

You saved me to love You, Lord, and you have brought this rebel home.

It is too wonderful for me, the awesome price that set me free,

The length my God has gone to win this sinner's love.

 

So teach me of Your great love, its height and depth, its length and breadth.

And teach me of Your great love, in all its gentleness and strength.

In Jesus Christ is clearly shown a love beyond all that is known.

That I might know this love is glorious mystery.

 

To love You, oh Lord my God, with all my heart and all my soul;

To love You, my Lord and God with all my mind and all my strength;

To love the lover of my soul must surely be my highest goal,

And I will love You, Lord, because You first loved me.

From Mark 12:30.

In "Disappointment with God", Phillip Yancey says:

"I came away from Colorado with a very different mental image of God. After two weeks of studying the Bible, I had a strong sense that God doesn't care so much about being analysed. Mainly, He wants to be loved. Nearly every page of His Word rustles with this message."
