Nestling In Divine Love
Divine love sweetly prevails
flowing from the breast of compassion Source
vanquishing hatred with its wrathful zest
treading down lofty haughtiness.
Serenity offered by sublime love
extinguishes despair of guilty soul
as gracious Sovereign pardon reaches the heart
through honest confession within assured fellowship.
Loving kindness of the Saviour
keeps me blest while I seek Him by faith
warming me against freezing apathy
so I can reach-out, sharing His goodness-bliss.
Grateful that He first loved me indeed
I nestle in Christ’s love* where I’m forever freed.
*Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
