On Valentine's Day we rush out to show our love to significant others, family and friends. Some people think it is a waste of money. Others turn it into a competition. Lately I have been thinking about the different ways people have shown their love to me through the years. Some did it with their words, some used gifts, and some didn't say or do anything...they were just there when I needed them the most. That got me to thinking about God's love for me. The list of things He has done for me is longer and wider than anyone I know. Sending His Son to save my life is unfathomable. The song "Written In Red" by Gordon Jenson is a great reminder of God's love to me. I heard Janet Paschal sing it and fell in love with the song. I've included the lyrics below for you to enjoy.
WRITTEN IN RED
VERSE 1
In letters of crimson
God wrote His love
On a hillside so long, long ago
For you and for me Jesus died
And love’s greatest story was told
CHORUS
I love you, I love you
That’s what Calvary said
I love you, I love you
I love you written in red
VERSE 2
Down through the ages God wrote His love
With the same hands that suffered and bled
Giving all that He had to give
A message so easily read
CHORUS
I love you, I love you
That’s what Calvary said I love you…
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
CHORUS
I love you, I love you
That’s what Calvary said
I love you, I love you
I love you written in red
