The Love of Jesus - John 15: 9

Jesus Christ the eternal son of God
loved by His father in all eternity
both always in union equally so
reign on high reveals divine identity

This Jesus declares His great love
for His own redeemed loving them so
showing such atoning love on Calvary
dying for our sins defecting our foe

Jesus tells us to constantly stay
always close to His love so dear
abiding in this love for eternity
His inerrant word makes this clear

Follow His counsel and guidance
listen to His spirit utters in our ear
His tones of love so sweet sound
such melodious music so ever clear

This is perfect love Godly and holy
the world ignorantly knows it not
but blessed are we His redeemed
as Jesus love clears our every blot

('As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. ')
John ch. 15 v.9 (ESV)
