Songs Of Hope - Sing We Now Of ChristmasSample
Redeeming Love
Redeeming love, a love that knows no limit;
Redeeming love, a love that never dies;
My soul shall sing through-out the endless ages
With choirs extolling this great love on high.
The hymn “Redeeming Love,” tells a story of hope and the deep love of Christ. From his birth to his death, our Lord’s charge was one of such love. The song leaves us with our own declaration to spend all our days praising a holy God - a God whose love knows no bounds.
I am reminded of the commandment in John 13, “As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” As the hymn sings of the Father’s great love, we are reminded to love our neighbors with the same selflessness. As Christ came as a child, we love with the full abandon of children. A song to be sung through the ages.
My charge to you is one of reflection - meditate on how great the love of the Lord is. Let the knowledge of His love propel you to love those around you the same. Be an example of His redeeming love.
If you have the opportunity, listen to this rendition of the hymn and rest in the Son’s great love for you.

About this Plan
The songs of Christmas stir our hearts and strengthen ties to God. We celebrate the Greatest Story of All as we sing carols. These songs are among the riches of the Kingdom that are the legacies from those who have gone before us. They come from varied times, lands, and cultures. What they have in common is that they are gifts that help us unwrap The Gift of Jesus, God-with-us.
