JESUS CHRIST >> LOVE OF CHRIST FOR US
SDAH 183
I will sing of Jesus love,
Sing of Him,who first loved me;
for He left bright worlds above,
And died on Calvary.
Text
1
I will sing of Jesus love,
Sing of Him,who first loved me;
for He left bright worlds above,
And died on Calvary.
Refrain
I will sing of Jesus love
Endless praise my heart shall give;
He has died that I might live
I will sing His love to me.
2
O the depths of love divine!
Earth or heaven can never know
How that sin as dark as mine
can be made as white as snow.
3
Nothing good for Him I’ve done;
How could He such love bestow?
Lord, I own my heart is won,
help me now my love to show.

What was the price for our salvation? Christ bought it with the precious blood of Jesus. Such kind of love is sufficient to save from sin. Let us all give thanks and sing praises about God’s love for each one of us. (Lesson 11, 1st Quarter 2021 -Sunday, Buy Something Free, 3/7/2021)
