I Hear the Words of Love

I hear the words of love every letter touches your heart flowing smoothly ever so nicely giving you a brand-new start I gaze upon the blood for Jesus shed this for me bringing my salvation to light by dying on Calvary's tree I see the mighty sacrifice Jesus on that cross of wood taking all our sins upon Him our Lord died to make us good And I have peace with God this is glory felt upon my soul knowing my sins are forgiven feel God's peace, your lifelong goal I have been given God's love eternally sought me to the end chosen before the earth began this Christ my real true friend (I hear the words of love, I gaze upon the blood, I see the mighty sacrifice, And I have peace with God.) Horatius Bonar (1808-1889) (This piece I've written is from the opening verse of the famous hymn by Horatius Bonar ' I hear the words of love'. This hymn is based on the joy and assurance of salvation. Trust it will bless many with the same joy and assurance.)
