The Greatest Loves

How is it true I am most loved of all?
God’s love is infinite because He is,
His love endured for me beyond the Fall,
He loved me, made me, owns me, I am His.

The Father loved me so, He gave His Son
to be like me, then for me suffer and die,
for only me were I the only one,
from love Christ did all that--I wonder why?

Nothing will last, Christ said, and yet I will,
to love Him first and most God orders me,
while living evermore, I’ll love Him still,
mine will, like His, last to infinity.

Your love for me’s the greatest love, that’s true,
mine, Lord, will be the greaest love for You.
