Love for Nothing - by Dan McGee 2/26/08
Based on: John 3:16a "For God so loved the world..."

Your desire to love
drove You to creation

In darkness
You created light

You took vacuum of space
to create galaxies

Inside galaxies
You crafted unique planets

To Earth
You gave water

From dark depths
You shaped lands

From barren soil
You created plants and trees

To desolate lands and oceans
You gave animal life

All this
You loved

From a special love
You created a special race

In Your image
You formed male and female

You named this race Man
You gave him
rule over Earth

From Your love
he was never left without
he never will be without

Your love reigns
for all men

Men gone
Men present
Men future

Your love reaches
beyond thoughts of men
beyond acts of men

Your love gives
joy to the heart
peace to the mind

Your love is
Fair in judgement
Just in correction

Your love is
Father to son
Shepherd to sheep

Your love extends
past the grave

Your love purifies
believers by grace
non-believers by brief royal fire

Your love leaves
no man to perish

Your love brings
ALL men to You

Your love judges
man for heavenly awards

You give love for nothing
You love because You are love
