Ever hear the saying, “Talk is cheap?” Well that’s what this song implies, only with different words. I can say, “I love you, Lord,” but those are only words unless my daily life bears witness to their truth. God’s grace inspires our hearts to love the Lord and our tongues to sing His praises.
Atop spiritual mountains, I’m happy, so happy. My joys are immortal. As I peek into my Heavenly home, I long to be there with my Lord whom I love dearly.
Do you love the Lord? Does your life show that you love Him? The Lord asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?” Every time Peter answered, “I love you, Lord.” Every day we have opportunities to share the love of God in Christ. We can tell someone how much we love our Savior. And, of course, we can say it to Him and really mean it.
The song below is sung by Miriam Jarrels Clark
I LOVE THEE

I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee, my Lord;
I love Thee, my Savior, I love Thee, my God;
I love Thee, I love Thee, and that Thou dost know;
But how much I love Thee my actions will show.
I’m happy, I’m happy, oh, wondrous account!
My joys are immortal, I stand on the mount:
I gaze on my treasure and long to be there,
with Jesus and angels and kindred so dear.
O Jesus, my Savior, with Thee I am blessed.
My life and salvation, my joy and my rest.
Thy Name be my theme, and Thy love be my song;
Thy grace shall inspire both my heart and my tongue.
Oh, who’s like my Savior? He’s Salem’s bright King;
He smiles and He loves me and helps me to sing:
I’ll praise him, I’ll praise Him with notes loud and clear,
While rivers of pleasure my spirit shall cheer.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV).
