To love You enough, God, to forget about 'me'
May this my daily desire be.
Amen
The Love of God- Mercy Me
1 John 3:1
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us,
because it did not know Him.
The love of God,
Oh, cherished thought
Enough to satisfy
To turn our gaze
From lesser ways
That deceive and defy
Love without end
Oh, what a friend
Is more faithful than He
Who bids us come
And depart from
Profitless vanity
God, rich in love
Enough, enough
Ah, may our witness prove
The joy and peace
Of want’s release
Perfected though His love
How dear and sweet
Where fears compete
With faith’s meek confidence
To trust in He
Whose love sets free
An army of defense
The love of God
Oh, wondrous thought
While endless ages roll
Our melody
Of joy will be
The love that saved the soul
The love of God
Ah, thought cannot
Such vastness comprehend
The fullness of
The kind of love
That doth sinners befriend
That doth forgive
So we may live
Each day, devoutly awed
As we embrace
His gift of grace
The boundless love of God
Such love, proven
When through His Son
Redemption crushed the foe
Enough, enough
This God of love
None but his loved ones know
The pleasure of
The lesser love
Of leisure's thirsting laud
Cannot console
Or fill the hole/whole
Shaped for the love of God

Rom.8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k]
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
