Notes About The Poem

When  I think of what Jesus did for us, the Son of Almighty
God, came to earth and died upon a cross for us so that
we might be able to spend an eternity with Him in Heaven.
I have been saved (A Christian) for 43 years and, it still
amazes me!  What Love He showed to us.
God bless.

Love Costs Everything

Love Costs Everything

To love another person
more than yourself costs you a lot
but to love the Lord as He deserves
costs you everything you’ve got.

For His love was not selfish
His love was certainly not cheap
His love came to deliver us
and He said that the price He paid was not too steep.

So He laid down His life
we must do the same 
no price is too high
for His Righteousness we will gain.

Now, I prayerfully say to my Lord
what is it that You want me to do
no price I believe is too great my Master 
for I truly love You.
