Recommended Worship Songs for YOU ARE...LOVED:
Nothing can compare to the love of God, which is a love that sacrificed what was of greatest value to save poor, wretched sinners. This incredible love is depicted in the modern hymn, How Deep the Father's Love for Us. And in the Sovereign Grace song, Jesus, Thank You, we sing of how the death of Christ has removed our sin so we are no longer enemies of God. Now we are His friends.
