Songs of Love:65

【Eternal Commitment】

1 Dearest Lord, my Beloved,

You have left heav’n’s glories;

For me You came from heav’n to the earth;

For love, You longed to be a Man;

Fully committed Yourself!

Your love warms and heals my heart.

2.God's beloved Son, O' my Beloved,

You came down from heav'n high;

O Godhood united with manhood!

Born in manger; died on the cross!

Love that dared death gains my heart!

How sweet to live in Your love.

3. Dearest Lord, my Beloved,

Your love dream has come true!

Now I am Your love forever!

Forever You dwell in my heart!

I am Yours and You are mine!

O' sweet love's eternity!

【Phil 1:3-6, 19-27】

3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,

5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,

20 as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.

23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.

25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,
