How Deep Is Your LOVE?

My husband, the theologian and I just celebrated our very first wedding anniversary on Saturday, June 14, 2014! 
Our wedding was themed after the passage in Song of Solomon 2-3 with lots of wildflowers. 
This particular blog entry is in praise to the Great Lover of the Church, Jesus Christ. 
All glory and honor be to Him for all that He is and for all that He has done!


I am Lover poured out like pink wine for my Lord.
There is no other who can bring to Him 
The kind of Love that I bring.
I am unique to Him,
Yet I am humbled...
For He gave His life for me!
JESUS!
My Savior who saved me from myself,
From the world, 
From sadness, 
From despair, 
From depression, 
From doubt.... 
From many horrible things.
And in the face of naysayers freely gave to me HOPE
For a future and an expected end.

You know the plans You have for me and they are good.
Your thoughts towards me are countless in number.
I could never repay You for the love You have shown.

Yet I hear You say:
"How deep is Your LOVE for me, my Lover? 
Will you not come away with me? 
Meet me under the apple tree 
Over by the fountain.
Look! How I have laid the table out for you!
Come and dine with me.
Let us eat apples and raisins
Together.
For I have many things to tell you."

"My Beloved," my heart replies, 
"Would You baptize me again in Your LOVE?
I am sick with Your LOVE, longing for more...
Refresh me with Your raisins!
Let me sit in Your shade and rest my head 
Upon your strong chest.
With Your left hand on my head,
Pull me closer with Your right hand...

"In Your arms the seasons change from Winter to Spring! 
Lightness! Breath! Hope! Joy!
Strength for the journey- endurance.
I have a song for You, my Lord, my Beloved, my King!
My soul sings the song my heart has written."

NOTE: The song below is not a worship song, but it's definitely a God song! In Zephaniah 3:17-20 the prophet tells us that our God sings and dances over us! Did you know that He sings and dances over you with joy? The theme of the song below is unconditional love. Unconditional LOVE can only come from and through God. Imagine Him singing this over you as you listen. 
Do you know how much He loves you? I dare you to ask Him to show you now even if He seems far away. Ask God to reveal Himself to you as the One who gave His life for the entire world in a singular act of selfless love...just for you!

The Bee Gees in performance of their hit single "How Deep Is Your Love?"


The Lord Your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [who saves]!
He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins,or even recall them]; 
He will exult over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17 Amplified Bible
