Notes About The Poem

One cannot jput into words to sufficiently tell someone
else what a difference the LORD GOD has made in
your life!  This world is so full of hurt, pain, misery,
but, having a Savior as we have in JESUS CHRIST,
can fulfill your desire, heal your pain, sometimes
heal your mortal body and stuff your heart full
of compassion for others.... I say, What a Savior!..

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Wonderful JESUS
the passionate LOVER of my soul
marvelously pursued this child so lost
and of my life would not let go.

For HE sought and longed after this one
for sweet fellowship to share
just like HE longs for you my brother and sister
and waiting to show you of HIS care.

And truly, I’ve never experienced such love like this
a love that I could not earn
its depth cannot be measured 
and an encounter with it will cause your heart after HIM to yearn.

When you feel warmth of HIS love
and tears begin to roll down your face
your heart HE fills with thankfulness
for HIS mercy, goodness and HIS grace.

Wonderful JESUS when I first came to know YOU 
I truly did not perceive
that YOU were most beautiful beyond description
oh, LORD, I am so glad that YOU chose me to receive.

John:  13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, 
that you love one another as I have loved
you, that ye also love one another.
