"Your love compels me, Lord, to give as You would give,
To speak as You would speak, to live as You would live.
Your love compels me, Lord, to see as You would see,
To serve as You would serve, to be what You would be."

"Thank you, Jesus, for Your love to me.
Thank you, Jesusm for Your grace so free.
I'll lift my voice to praise Your Name,
Praise You again and again.
You are everything, You are my Lord."

"I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice.
To worship You, O my soul, rejoice.
Take joy, my King, in what You hear.
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear."

"Fill my eyes, Oh my God with a vision of the cross,
Fill my heart with love for Jesus the Nazarene.
Fill my mouth with Thy praise,
Let me sing, through endless days.
Take my will, let my life be wholly Thine."

"It is a thing most wonderful, almost too wonderful to be, that God's own Son should come from heaven, and die to save a child like me.
And yet I know that it is true; He came to this poor world below, and wept and toiled and mourned and died, only because He loved us so.
I cannot tell how He could love; a child so weak and full of sin; His love must be most wonderful, if He could die my love to win.
I sometimes think about His Cross, and shut my eyes, and try to see. The cruel nails and crown of thorns, and Jesus crucified for me.
But even could I see Him die, I could but see a little part, of that great love which like a fire, is always burning in His heart.
It is most wonderful to know, His love for me so free and sure; But 'tis more wonderful to see, my love for Him so faint and poor.
And yet I want to love Thee, Lord; O light the flame within my heart, and I will love Thee more and more, until I see Thee as Thou art."

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
John 3:16-21

Even though Jesus knew tat in the hours that would follow His disciples would forsake Him and that one would even deny knowing Him, He offered a prayer to His Father on their behalf. His prayer was not a petition for God to make strong their weaknesses, or to make perfect their imperfections or deepen their shallow faith. Instead, it was a tender prayer that the Father would keep them in His care.

His love moved Him to respond with patience to the weaknesses of His disciples. His love moved Him to pray to His Father, "Not My will but Thine be done."
His love reached beyond personaly agony and suffering to the penitent thief when He said, "Today you will be with Me in Paradis."
His love was revealed when He said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
His love for a lost and dying world moved Him to hang on a cross in pain and humiliation, to make the supreme sacrifice on the cross. How then has His love moved me?
