Ephesians 1:7 (KJV) “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”
At the center of every friendship,
There lives a silent knowing – showing,
Love that abides, silencing fears,
Reaching beneath the crowded lies,
Deceptions left by the enemy of love,
The one who remembers that God above –
Destroyed his plans, so we understand,
With the love of His Son,
We can know as our soul’s Savior,
The One who came and died,
The One who rose again, came back to life,
So that we would know the wonder
A love so abundant, we need not fear.
Grace changed all our tears –
To gentle laughter, kindness, sincerity
Affection for the One who died,
So that we could abide with Him,
In the promised land,
That place so full of joy,
Heaven, where souls live forever,
Praising the One who created us,
Sure that love forgave us,
So, together, we can know the beauty,
Love that couldn’t be truer,
Love that restores our souls,
So that, eternally, we’re with the One,
Who gave us more than words can explain,
Love, so we’re not ever the same…
We’re filled with hope and praise.
Because of Him, we know the way.
At the center of every friendship,
There are notes played, sweet music,
Stirring the soul to accept all the joy,
Flowing within, where we once sinned,
But now – know the music of truth,
The notes of grace and faith,
The rhythms of hope and love –
Abiding inside, where we’re sure…
He has blessed us in ways we can’t measure,
With love that is our heart’s best treasure,
Love that provides our lives with assurance
That forever, we can always trust Him,
The One who is life for us,
The One who abides with us,
The One who decides – to love,
Despite all the reasons we’ve given Him,
To leave us – unforgiven.
He forgives! Even though we don’t deserve Him.
He loves us – even though we can’t earn it.
He is with us, even though we don’t warrant it.
His love is the reason we’ll know Him throughout eternity!
