The Love of Jesus

My heart melts at the love of Jesus,

my brother, bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh,

married to me, dead for me, risen for me;

He is mine and I am his,

given to me as well as for me;

I am never so much mine as when I am his,

or so much lost to myself until lost in him;

then I find my true [wo]manhood.


Let the mighty tide of his everlasting love

cover the rocks of my sin and care;

Then let my spirit float above those things

which had else wrecked my life.


If traces of Christ's love-artistry be upon me,

may he work on with his divine brush

until the complete image be obtained

and I be made a perfect copy of him, my master.


[Can I get a "WOW that is unbelievably articulate?!"]


Just a few more excerpts of another prayer that is in the Valley of Vision book that you've been hearing about... This one was called "The Love of Jesus."

You can buy this book for $14.99 at Schulers :)


Love.
