This won't be a song you probably have heard of, but I think it is a great modern hymn-type song. It was recorded around 2008 by a little know group called the Daniel Doss Band. The chorus is a beautiful picture of God's love. As you listen, reflect on the great love of God. When sin destroyed God's perfect creation, He didn't have to spare us. He could have started over, but instead His love spared us! His love prepared prepared a plan. His love sent Jesus to die and to rise again for us. This God, He is truly worthy of our praise!
Verse for Consideration:
1 John 3:1 ESV
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Lyrics:
Light and breath come from your hand in your presence who can stand? Even angels veil their sight High and lifted glorified Love outstanding overflows In our hearts it ever grows Sent to live and breathe through us flow like waters comes your love flow like waters comes your love Love like rain fall down Love like arms surround Hold the universe ablaze Hold my heart in your embrace Loving Father pure and bright Waits arms open for the sight of the wayward son come home Celebration waits alone And at first glimpse the Father runs dripping tears fall on the Sun from His knees the Father lives to embrace and kiss His face to embrace and kiss His face Love like rain fall down Love like arms surround Hold the universe ablaze Hold my heart in your embrace Blood and sweat have made the way For the sinner gone astray Come and rest in His embrace Love has paved the way for Grace Entering the wayward child born in sin now reconciled Live to please the Lord of love live and breathe for home above live and breathe for home above Love like rain fall down Love like arms surround Hold the universe ablaze Hold my heart in your embrace
