LOVE RELEASED

John 15:9-13
9 "As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in My love. 10 If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father's commands and remain in His love. 11 I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Within the walls of my poor heart
there lies a hidden treasure rare.
Though I would like to claim some part,
it's God alone who put it there.

What is this gift of greatest price
that I have stifled with my fear?
It's God's great love, a sacrifice,
His grace outpoured that drew me near.

Beyond these blocks, beyond my cares
of failing or of feeling pain,
let love gush forth until it tears
the false walls down--that would contain.

God's love is more than what we know--
it's more than angels' words above.
Its richness from my heart must flow,
for I am nothing without love.
--Tom Felten
