YOU ARE MY KING (Amazing Love)
I’m forgiven because you were forsaken
I’m accepted. You were condemned.
I’m alive and well.
Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again.
Amazing Love!
How can it be
That You, my King, would die for me?
Amazing Love!
I know it’s true.
And it’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor you
Jesus, You are My King!
Mid-2001 this was my favorite praise and worship song. My favorites change every few months as the Spirit reveals fresh messages with each new song.
God’s love is amazing! I’m forever in awe of God’s amazing love more me. The all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the universe loved me so much that He was willing to give His life to save mine. “Greater love hath no man …” It’s true.
I never knew how much I could love until I had my children. I feel so much love for them that I would lay down my life to save them. As much as I profess to have unconditional love for them, I still can’t match God’s love. I’m often judgmental of them, as is human nature, and see all their faults and flaws. But as I sit and reflect on my growing children, I am so proud of them. They are such a blessing to me. They are so talented, loving, sensitive, intelligent and faithful. What more could any human mother as for than straight A students with musical and athletic talents who love and serve the Lord? What else is there of value? Their rooms are a mess and, like all teenagers, they push the boundaries of authority at home. But I never fail to receive compliments about them from teachers, other parents, and everyone they come into contact with.
But with all the love that wells up inside of me, bringing me to tears, I can’t begin to match the love that God has for them. They are more precious than silver to me; but there are no human words to describe the love of God for each of His children.
And we don’t deserve it. Despite my periodic frustration with my kids, I love them still. But their antics pale in comparison to the sins of the world committed against God (including my own) that He graciously forgives and cleanses. There is no such grace and forgiveness on earth. We try our best to forgive others, but somehow we can never forget it completely. Wrongs committed against us are somehow buried deep in our hearts and forever taint our relationships no matter how forgiving and understanding we try to be.
We can’t match God’s grace. That totally unmerited favor that loves us so deeply it separates our confessed sins from us as far as the east is from the west, washing us whiter than snow. We come before God with our guilt and shame and He sees nothing but the pure, sinless face of His beloved son, Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! What hope would there be for any of us without that incredible, redeeming sacrifice of Christ on the cross?
Amazing love! So far beyond the depth of any love our hearts and minds could imagine. Christ was forsaken that I could be forgiven. Christ was condemned that I could be accepted eternally as a child of God. I live and breathe and have my being because I am filled with the Spirit of God – a Spirit whose love knows no end.
Abba, Father, I love you! And it IS my joy to honor You in all I do. Lord, come and live in me always and be my King.

I too have felt that amazing love a parent has for their children. It is so warming to think that God's love for us is greater even than that. Thank you.
