Linked to His Love

"For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again" (2 Corinthians 5:14,15).

The love of Jesus Christ constrains
Each life that He has saved by grace.
It is His love that yet sustains
And holds us in His strong embrace.

There is a link that just makes sense
That calls us now to live for Christ:
Should not we seek to recompense
Our Lord for us once sacrificed?

O Lord, we thank You for the love
That prompted You to die for all
And made You leave Your throne above
To lift us from our sinful fall.
