Choose today whom you will serve
(Joshua 24:15; NLT).
1. Our love for God
Cannot be forced –
It grows throughout the years,
2. With prayer and worship,
Faith, and trust;
With sacrifice, and tears.
3. As we live
In his presence,
He will fill us to the brim,
4. Until we overflow
With love,
Becoming
more like him.
