Eternal Life Sentence

Lord Jesus Christ is my number one love
no one or nothing else can compare
He is the greatest lover of all
one so beautiful yet exceedingly rare

Jesus has loved me from eternity past
promising to do so forever more
He indeed is fairest of ten thousand
lovers together heavenly we'll soar

What a sentence to be given
for a blessing of a crime
wish spiritual jails were filled
staying there to keep us in our prime

O wish there were more Jesus lovers
these that had their eyes open
to clearly see the saviour divine
the one that fills hearts hoping

May I love Him all of my days
being ready for our heavenly dance
when we'll skip His light fantastic
together then in everlasting trance
