Love Songs to Worship Anthems

I’m a sinner, that’s saved and single. Sometimes, I croon to love songs that are obviously not directed Godward and SING them to Him. He is or ought to be the object of my affection, the source of my comfort, my hedge of protection. His love is worth surrendering to, in His arms I am at peace.

Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the law? What do you read there?’ He answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.’ And he said to him, ‘You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.’
