Oh Perfect Love

Oh Perfect Love

 

Oh Perfect Love that casts out fear

Forgive our sins and draw us near.

For love covers a multitude of sins

And brings a chance to live again.

 

Sin will separate and deplete us

Within your Love you heal and keep us

For those Christ is given will persevere

Preserve and see us through

Redeem and make us new

Keep us safe in you until you appear!

 

We are poor in spirit and we mourn

As we meekly , gently bear these thorns.

We hunger and thirst for true righteousness

Persecuted,Ý insulted, and yet we are blessed.

 

For the sake of our Lord

We rejoice in our reward

Exceedingly glad for joy unknown

For heavenÝ is our home.

 

We are children of God we rejoice and are glad

Our reward is in heaven so we cannot be sad.

 

Oh Perfect Love that casts out fear

Forgive our sins and draw us near.

For love covers a multitude of sins

And brings a chance to live again.

 

Sin will separate and deplete us

Within your Love you heal and keep us

For those Christ is given will persevere

Preserve and see us through

Redeem and make us new

Keep us safe in you until you appear!

 

Oh Perfect Love

Oh Perfect Love

In our hearts abide

Oh Perfect Love

Take us above

Draw us to your side
