The love of Christ is rich and free;
Fixed on His own eternally;
Nor earth, nor hell, can it remove;
Long as He lives, His own He’ll love.
His loving heart engaged to be
Their everlasting Surety;
’Twas love that took their cause in hand,
And love maintains it to the end.
Chorus: Love cannot from its post withdraw;
Nor death, nor hell, nor sin, nor law,
Can turn the Surety’s heart away;
He’ll love His own to endless day.
Love has redeemed His sheep with blood;
And love will bring them safe to God;
Love calls them all from death to life;
And love will finish all their strife.
He loves through every changing scene,
Nor aught from Him can Zion wean;
Not all the wanderings of her heart
Can make His love for her depart.
At death, beyond the grave, He’ll love;
In endless bliss, His own shall prove
The blazing glory of that love
Which never could from them remove.
Indelible Grace did an awesome rendition of this by putting this old hymn to new music. Listen here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufTrN4dTSac&feature=related

Nice!
Shout out to the Definite Atonement in verse 3. (Andrea, do you see that?)
I also love Indelible Grace.
Obviously we all love their rewrite of Jesus I My Cross Have Taken (which we all sing) but I also love On Jordan's Stormy Banks and their version of Lead On O King Eternal.
Great blog, how do I "follow" it?
Hey Pastor Josh!
How'd you find us?
Not really sure how to do the following thing. But I know it's doable. I'd google "follow" "blogspot" and see what comes up.
Thanks for your compliment.
Grace to you!
"His loving heart engaged to be
Their everlasting Surety; ’Twas love that took their cause in hand, And love maintains it to the end." This one will end up on my Facebook wall!
