I love God because...

I love God because He loved me long before the world began.
I love God because He knew my destiny.
I love God because He made me part of His eternal plan.
I love God because He first loved me.

I love Him for all the things He's done for me.
I love Him for all that He is, all that He is to me.
But, most of all, I love Him as the Spirit
Who deep within my spirit lives.


I love God because He came in time to be the Son of Man.
I love God because He gave Himself for me.
I love God because He conquered death that I might live in Him.
I love God because He first loved me.

I love Him for all the things He's done for me.
I love Him for all that He is, all that He is to me.
But, most of all, I love Him as the Spirit
Who deep within my spirit lives.


I love God because He's processed now to be my life within.
I love God because He is transforming me.
I love God because He's building up the New Jerusalem.
I love God because He still loves me.

I love Him for all the things He's done for me.
I love Him for all that He is, all that He is to me.
But, most of all, I love Him as the Spirit
Who deep within my spirit lives.

Many of the feelings which we think are the Lord's leading are actually our opinion. The accuracy of our feelings depends on the breaking of our outer man through the cross and on how much we die to ourselves.

I live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

I'm thankful that God has placed me
With you to build up His Body.
Christ in you is the hope for me!
You also need Christ lived in me.

I live, if you stand firm in the Lord.
You live, if I stand firm in the Lord.

I need you saints desp'rately!

Oh, what a sweet church life have we!
Built up in Him, His bride to be!
In Him steadfast, you help me be;
Encouraged by Christ whom I see.
