Religion

Divine Love

Thy love is like a river flow
Eternal and serene
Restoring peace and hope below
And washing all things clean

It fills the heart with joy and light
And bids all fears depart
It prompts the soul to do what's right
And lifts the fainting heart

O wondrous love! Thou art the source
Of every blessed grace
My heart will praise thee evermore
And seek thy sweet embrace

Religion

Mercy Meets Justice

Justice and mercy, hand in hand
A perfect match, a gracious band
Justice demands what's due to all
And mercy leads us from the fall

The law condemns our guilty state
And shows that death shall be our fate
But mercy pleads, "O let them live
And all their sins and sorrows forgive"

Thus justice and mercy both agree
To grant us pardon full and free
And lead us to the throne of grace
Where we may see our Savior's face

Religion

In the Shadow of His Wings

Amid the storms of life and fears
When doubts assail and troubles near
I find a refuge true and strong
In the shadow of His wings

Here I am safe from every foe
And peace and rest within me flow
His love sustains and guides me on
In the shadow of His wings

No power of earth or hell can harm
Or snatch me from His loving arm
For He will keep me to the end
In the shadow of His wings.

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

In the beginning, God created
The heavens and the earth
He said, "Let there be light"
And light was given birth

He crafted every creature
And gave them all a name
But still, He desired more
Someone to love and claim

So from the dust of the earth
He made man in His own image
And from man's side He made woman
To create a perfect partnership

They dwelled in Paradise
With every need provided
But they still desired more
Their craving unrequited

They were tempted by the serpent
Who promised them great things
But their disobedience caused
A world of pain and sufferings

But God never gave up on them
He promised a Savior would come
To redeem and reconcile
And bring them back to His kingdom

And so, His greatest love story
Began to unfold in time
Through prophets and miracles
Salvation promised, Divine

He sent His son, Jesus Christ
To live and die for our sin
To pay the debt we could not pay
And make us whole within

The greatest act of love
Ever known to man
Undeserved and unconditional
Only through grace's hand

And now we have a choice
To accept or reject this love
But those who choose to believe
Will know Heaven's home above

So let us marvel at this story
Of love that's pure and true
And let it transform our lives
In all that we say and do.
