Special Objects of Divine Affection -John 15: 19
It's a great thing to dwell so much
upon our great God's love divine
this love so hard to describe fully
God's elect have it being His one kind
John's words tell much of God's heart
for out of it comes our election
as the Lord chose us out of the world
special objects of divine affection
Why should God choose such as we?
pots of clay lost in sin without hope
but of His merciful boundless love
reaching out sending His rescue rope
This is the perfect love of God supreme
chosen are His elect from eternity past
His great love is the answer why
who God chose for His dye is cast
God's love sent Jesus His only son
to die on Calvary our sin to atone
The redeemer paid the perfect sacrifice
so one day we'll be heavenly flown
("I have chosen you out of the world." John 15:19)
