Let Not But Love

Here is a hymn I wrote recently. The first and last stanzas have become a Lenten prayer for me.

Lord, all my hate, I lay at Your feet
And all my fear will be cast out
So perfect love may dwell in my heart
And through my life may shine throughout

Oh, all my shame my Savior carried
And with Him was put to death
Now I am whole, and I am blameless
My guilt and shame breathed dying breath

And on that day that He was risen
And the stone was rolled away
Only love walked from the tomb
Where my guilt and shame still lay

Let not but love guide all my actions
A burning love, that dwells within
That holy love that lifts the lowly
And that rescued me from sin

Amen.
