To Love Like You

[Christsfreeservant]

To love like You, Lord,
That is what I desire;
To live like Jesus,
And let His words inspire;

To let His Spirit
Fill up my life with grace;
To care for others
Who I meet face to face;

To show compassion
For all who live in sin,
Showing them the way
To living in freedom;

My life to give them,
To open blinded eyes;
Free those in darkness,
So they in Christ abide.

Sin now forgiven,
They with Christ crucified;
With Him they’ve risen
To their new lives in Christ.

They walk in freedom.
Sin’s grip now has no place.
They live for Jesus,
Who they’ll meet face to face.

Amen, and Amen!

"Jesus Christ, the love that gives love.

You are higher than the highest star;

you are deeper than the deepest sea;

you cherish us as your own family;

you embrace us as your own spouse;

you rule over us as your own subjects;

you welcome us as your dearest friends.

Let all the world worship you!

Amen."
