RELENTLESS LOVE

RELENTLESS LOVE      


Undivided and relentless love pursues
Us...it never gives up; that's the kind of
Love that Jesus has for us, undaunted
Unswayed...even if we push Him away,
He doesn't force us to respond, though

Gently He nudges, reminds us of who's
We are and who's we'll forever be if we
Accept His love gift, turning away from
The world of sin and separation; makes

His home in us, sending the Spirit, who'll
Remain with us, till finally coming home,
To be with Him, wherever he may go, we
Know we'll be with Him...forever, Amen!
