God's Patient Love

Our life upon this earth
forever presses on -
we hurry across life’s stage
and then pass on.

Yet God who made us sees
each moment’s worth,
and charts the progress
of our life on earth.

In patient love God calls
to us to see
in patient loving service
life is free.

With costly giving love
Christ died to live,
and now God’s caring seeking love
awaits to give.

So great the cost of love poured out
upon that tree!
The risen, living, loving Christ
embraces me!
