A Bonded Love of God

Ephesians 3:14-19

I go down on my knees before the Father,
Of our Lord Jesus Christ who is a Brother;
Each family in Heaven and earth is named,
That in the wealth of His glory is claimed;
In making strong with power of His Spirit,
So your heart has a place for Christ to sit;
Through your faith in God from up above,
Being rooted and based within your love;
Showing how deep for the saints to view,
And in having the knowledge within you;
Of the love of Christ which is far beyond,
A gift from God that completes your bond.
A love that is great, a love that is grand,
A love that will grow, constantly expand;
As you abide in His Word and putting trust,
Giving you a barrier against all your lust;
Through the Holy Spirit love is kept strong,
Preventing your life from departing wrong;
By praying to the Father through His Son,
In a bonded love of God you are as one.
