The Love of the Lord

All that I counted as gain
Now I consider as loss
Empty and worthless to me
In the light of the love of the Lord
Riches and honors will fade
Earthly delight disappear
Fade like the grass of the field
In the light of the love of the Lord

What more could bring us hope
Than to know the pow'r of his life?
What more could bring us peace
Than to share in his suff'ring and death?
What more could be our final wish
Than to live in the love of the Lord?

Silver and gold have I none
No land to count as my home
Yet wealth beyond measure I own
In the light of the love of the Lord
Faith is the wealth I possess
Finding its source in my God
Faith in the promise of Christ
Is my life and my love of the Lord

What more could bring us hope
Than to know the pow'r of his life? (Of his life)
What more could bring us peace
Than to share in his suff'ring and death?
What more could be our final wish
Than to live in the love of the Lord?
