The Object of Your Love

This song is one of my favorites because of its incredible message. I love the last verse especially. It kind of goes along with what Autumn and Charis wrote about on Thursday and Friday.

THE OBJECT OF YOUR LOVE

Apart from God, a slave to sin,
My guilt to much to bear,
My heart has found no hope within,
And peace gives way to care.
Yet now I see Your broken form upon dark Calvary.
It was my fault that You were torn;
You proved Your love to me.

With contrite heart I bow in shame
Before my God above.
Without regard for His great name,
I've sinned against His love.
Yet now my Savior's words I hear within this holy place,
"My friend there is no need to fear,
You're at the Throne of Grace."

And when I feel my heart would break
For grief within my soul,
Help me to know there's no mistake;
My God is in control.
Yet now I feel eternal arms supporting me inside.
You are a shade from every harm,
You'll never leave my side.

(Chorus)
Now I am Yours, and You are mine,
O precious thought to me!
The priceless gift of love divine provides security.
The life I owe such mercy could never be enough.
But thank you, Lord, for making me
The Object of Your Love.
