For The Love Of God

We just returned from family camp at Camp Barakel, and one of the songs we sang this weekend was written by D. A. Carson. It's such a beautiful song...I wish I could share the music, but the lyrics will have to suffice.

Holiness surrounds His throne; all His angels bow.
Sheer delight is theirs alone, worshiping Him now.
Justice triumphs, beauty reigns, nothing's marred or flawed.
Countless millions join in praise.
For the love, O for the love, for the love of God.

God so loved this sin-cursed world that He gave His Son.
Jesus is God's love unfurled - our redemption won.
Contemplating such a love, I am humbled, awed.
So I will proclaim his grace
For the love, O for the love, for the love of God.

Heart and mind and soul and strength would that I were true,
Faithfully adoring Him, totally renewed!
How I long to praise His name, all His ways applaud.
So I'll raise my halting hymn
For the love, O for the love, for the love of God.
