'MANY WATERS'
3-7-2006
Song of Solomon 7:7 Romans 8:34-39
'Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods
drown it,
If a man would give for love all the wealth of His
house, it would be utterly despised'.
These are the words of wise King Solomon centuries
before the birth of Christ. They describe in just a
few words what God did through the life of His son.
He gave up His place in heaven to come down to Earth
and give up the most valuable thing of all, His own
life.
All the things that this troublesome life can throw
at us are not worthy to be compared to the great
Glory that shall be revealed in us as we respond to
that love by faith. And as Romans chapter 8 tells us
nothing can separate us from the effects of that
love unless we let it by doubting His love. Faith
works by love but you know? Love works by faith! We
must believe in His love for us and His merciful
nature even to get initially saved! It is also a
constant and enduring faith in His love for us that
causes us to never fail! No matter what the troubled
waters might be...
+++MANY WATERS+++
MANY WATERS
OF TROUBLE AND DESPAIR
CAN QUENCH THE LOVE
THAT I KNOW IS THERE
MANY WATERS
RIVERS, EVEN SEAS
CANNOT QUENCH THIS LOVE
MINE FOR YOU
YOURS FOR ME
MANY WATERS
OF SICKNESS, OF DISEASE
CANNOT QUENCH THIS LOVE
AND PASSIONS FLAME
CANNOT FREEZE
MANY WATERS
THE ENEMIES FLOOD
CANNOT QUENCH THIS FIRE
CANNOT DOUSE THIS LOVE
MANY WATERS
TRIALS AND SNARES
MANY BURDENS
FEARS AND CARES
THINGS IN THE PRESENT
THINGS FROM THE PAST
CONCERNS ABOUT THE FUTURE
NONE OF THESE WILL LAST
NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US
FROM THE LOVE OF JESUS
UNFAILING LOVE IS MINE
UNENDING, ALL THE TIME
MANY WATERS
OF LACK AND POVERTY
CANNOT QUENCH THIS LOVE
I KNOW HE HAS FOR ME
MANY WATERS
OF HATRED, OF STRIFE
CANNOT HINDER THIS LOVE
THAT CAME INTO MY LIFE
MANY WATERS
ANGELS, DEMONS
TRIBULATIONS AND DISTRESS
PERSECUTIONS, STORMS
FAMINES AND NAKEDNESS
PERILS AND THE SWORD
ALL OF THIS LIFE
AND EVEN DEATH
ALL OF OUR SIN
AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
ALL OF THESE THINGS
NEITHER HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH
CAN QUENCH THIS LOVE
CAN SEPARATE US FROM
THIS ETERNAL LOVE
THAT BY THE CHRIST
HAS COME...
