A noble deed - loving the Lord

What is the ultimate expression of the gospel? It is our loving the Lord, even pouring out ourselves upon Him. (Matthew 26:6-13)

What is the greatest commandment in the law? "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." (Matthew 22:37) “你要全心、全魂並全心思,愛主你的神。”

Whom do I have in heaven but You? And besides You there is nothing I desire on earth. (Psalm 73:25) 除你以外,在天上我有誰呢?除你以外,在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。

1. Mary poured out her love offering
To many such love was a waste.
Throughout all of the centuries
Such lovers Your sweetness do taste.
Precious lives and heart treasures, too
Positions and golden futures,
Have been "wasted" on You, Lord;
Your sweetness a fragrance so sure.
She took opportunity
To love You; Lord, with her best.
Like her, Lord, I too would pour
My love and all that I have.

2. As I love You I set my being—
My spirit, my soul and body.
With my heart, my mind, and my strength,
Absolutely on Thee.
Lord, I let my entire being
Be occupied by Thee
As I enter in Your heart
I sense a fellowship sweet.
Occupied and lost in You;
My Lord, You're my everything.
Fellowship so intimate;
In spirit Lord I enjoy Thee.

3. Lord there's none in heav'n nor on earth
That I desire but Thee.
Though my heart and flesh faileth, Lord,
Thou ever my portion will be.
All is vanity, all is dung;
I count all other things loss;
Everything else drains my love
But You have captured my heart.
Lord, I've seen Thy preciousness,
Thy worth, Thy reality.
Now, my Lord, I must confess
My heart is only for Thee.
