2 Corinthians 5: 14 -15 For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died. And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised.

2 Corinthians 5: 14 -15 Christ’s love for us compels us (motivates us) to follow Him, because we believe this: He showed His love by dying for us and our sin. With our sins forgiven we have “died” to our old way of living. The reason Jesus died was so that those who now have life (i. e. , Christians), should no longer live for themselves, but for Jesus who died and rose for them.

Romans 5: 8 -9 But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! Much more, then, since we have not been declared righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath.

The Love of God Verse 1: The love of God is greater far than

The Love of God Verse 1: The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; it goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from his sin. Chorus: Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure – the saints’ and angels’ song.

The Love of God Verse 2: When years of time shall pass away, and

The Love of God Verse 2: When years of time shall pass away, and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall, when men who here refuse to pray, on rocks and hills and mountains call, God’s love so sure, shall still endure, all measureless and strong; redeeming grace to Adam’s race – the saints’ and angels’ song. Chorus: Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure – the saints’ and angels’ song.

The Love of God Verse 3: Could we with ink the ocean fill, and

The Love of God Verse 3: Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made; were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky. Chorus: O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure – the saint’s and angels’ song.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross Verse 1 When I survey the wondrous cross,

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross Verse 1 When I survey the wondrous cross, on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Verse 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. Verse 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, do divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
