Larger Love

"Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these?" He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord; Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto Him, Feed My lambs.... Feed my sheep" (John 21:15,16).

More than friends you want to please,
More than things that men applaud,
More than temporary ease,
Do you love these more than God?

More than things this world treasures,
More than all its vain reward,
More than all its passing pleasures,
Do you love your precious Lord?

If these things distract your heart
Diminishing for Christ your love
It's time to set yourself apart
To focus on the things above.

Then mindful of what Jesus did,
And mindful too of Who He is,
Turn with love that can't hid,
To feed the sheep that He calls His.
