This song came to me while we were in the midst of rebuilding the lower portion of our church building which had been gutted and damaged by an arsonist’s fire. Our office space was relocated and we were forced to meet at very inconvenient times for our corporate gatherings! It was in the midst of this that I heard God ay He would not force me to love Him. This of course only made me want to love Him more because of the sense of freedom this truth brings. What’s more, I began to realize that my human reasoning only get in the way of loving Him and that if I am a new creation then my truest and deepest desire is to love Him in an uncontrollable manner, the way He loves me, totally consumed in His love for me!

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:14-21  


Your love is too pure to ever force me to love You
But Lord, this is my heart’s true desire
To love You beyond my human reason
Burn it deep into my heart with Your loves holy fire

I love You just because of Who You are
I love You just because of Who You are
Your love is more pure than the falling rain
Human words, Lord, cannot explain
To love You beyond my human reason
Burn it deep into my heart with Your loves holy fire
