O Love That Holds By Grace Oji

Pencil work by Grace Orji

• O love that holds me to him close,

Deep in sin, I did lay and wallow,

This state was to me unknown,
Without my request, He died, my Savior,
And gave unto me repentance, a gift.

• O love who keeps me in his arms,
And washes me that I become snow white
Without a spot, before God right.

Gives me a new life and walks by my side,

He is my salvation and I am His child.

• O love who  swallows up my soul,
In Him and always I am immersed the whole
His sweet hands patterned and control
The waves of design on me as a bowl
A vessel to fill up and make me whole.

• O love that made my life begin, and
Knew before me love men like Him,
In caring, Him in me, living; through
me, men loving.

Romans 5:8
“But, God commended His love towards
us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us"
