Electing Love

"...Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven..." Luke 10:19-20.

"...But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven,...."

"...Whose names are in the book of life..." Phil 4:3.

"...Whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world..." Rev 13:8.

"...But they which are written in the Lamb's book of life..." Rev 21:27.



L.M.


Oh, may my heart and soul now learn;
To Thee alone, may Thy zeal burn;
And bow before Thy mighty throne,
To praise electing Love alone.

When men in sin my peace detect,
When Thou may show I am elect;
I see their envy in them rise,
When of His Grace I would apprise.

God’s Sovereign choice, saints know indeed,
Is by the world all unstudied;
But is the theme saints love the best,
And that in which they fully rest.

If first, Thou’d never chosen me,
I never would have chosen Thee;
To glory in Your choice of me
Thou made in vast eternity.

For this my soul shall ever praise
Thy Sovereign Love till end of days;
Though doubt and fear may sometimes rise,
And clouds obscure my brighter skies.

Thy choice in Christ forever stands,
Till it at last in Heaven lands;
And there with God in Christ above,
Sing ever of electing Love.
