Steadfast Love

 

 

We long for love, for a place to belong

For notes to make melody of our life song

 

For secured happiness, for good times not to end

We seek it in soul mates, in family, in friends

 

We long for peace, for our unsettled hearts

For unwavering hope, should life fall apart

 

For faith for our doubts, for comfort for pain

For answers the holes in our hearts can't explain

 

And all the while there is a Father above

Who is longing to fill up our hearts with His love

 

Longing to hold us and never let go

To give us more joy than we thought we could know

 

He's the love that we seek, our truest lifesong

He is the place we were made to belong

 

Through sunshine and trials He leads us until

Every hole in our hearts He is able to fill

 

More than riches or soul mates or family or friends

Joy found in Him never fails, never ends

 

He is hope for the hopeless, strength for the weak

He is all that our hearts were created to seek

 

He gave His own Son to redeem each lost soul

And only through Him are the broken made whole

 

So give God your heart on this Valentine's day

And let His rich love for you sweep you away.

 

"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;"
