O tell to earth’s remotest bound,God is love!In Christ we have redemption found,God is love!His blood has washed our sins away,His Spirit turned our night to day,And now we can rejoice to say:God is love!

What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; yet what I can I give him: give my heart.

Crucifixion in art

• See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,or thorns compose so rich a crown.

• Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

• God sent His son, they called Him JesusHe came to love, heal, and forgive.He lived and died to buy my pardon,An empty grave is there to prove my Saviour lives.

• Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.Because He lives, All fear is gone.Because I know He holds the future,And life is worth the living just because He lives.
