- Sang this song recently and just became totally struck again by How much Jesus Loves us. I find myself working through a range of emotions and being reminded of so much. I am challenged at how much I keep forefront in my mind how Jesus is Mine and I am His , I should live life totally abandoned to what the world thinks about me. We can only ever experience that awesome feeling of loving someone because we have experienced it in the most magnificent way. To think that someone has suffered because of my mistakes is mind blowing and totally humbling. How do I so often go through my daily life without really taking this into account, letting it seep in to the struggles and challenges that can overwhelm so often yet in reality perhaps mean little.
- I really felt challenged when singing that line about Jesus lending me breath- like wow how much of a reality check is that ! I think further of how everything I have has been given to me, that I truly am blessed, I often neglect to think of how even oxygen is given to me - i mean come on where is my head at. I think it motivates me further to want to try and i stress try, to use every breath I am lent to Glorify God. I have a real assurance that everything in this life the ups and downs and many struggles will be worth it to be with Him in Endless Delight.
- I humbly acknowledge at how much help I need to show and daily live out how much 'If ever I Loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now' as frankly if it wasn't for the overwhelming extension of His grace regardless of me I'd be in trouble...
- My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. - I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. - I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. - In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice.Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love." (BAM !!)
