The Greatest Love of All

12/30/2006

About 20 years ago we wrote a song in Indianapolis. We borrowed the melody from someone else, but we wrote the words, “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well. Help them have a Hope and a Rock in Jesus. Children are our future. Help them understand. Give them a Rock of Hope to make it easier.”

You’ll see that this love that you have for the children is our heart, too. And if you go back to the very last thing in the Old Testament that was said before John the Baptist and Jesus, it was about the children. The very last thing the prophet said was that the coming of the Kingdom of God would be demonstrated by the love of the father for the children, and the love of the children for the father (Mal. 4:6). Of all of the things he could have said, he said our relationships with one another and with our children would be a mark of the coming of the Kingdom of God.

I believe that children are our future.

Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

Give them a Rock of Hope—to make it easier. Let the children’s honesty

Remind us how we used to be.

Everybody’s searching for a Hero;

People need someone to look up to.

I never found anyone who fulfilled my need.

A lonely place to be—and then I found the loving Prince of Peace.

I decided long ago to live for Him who makes me whole.

When I fail, when I succeed, I can press on because I’m freed.

No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my destiny…

Because the Greatest Love of all is happening to me;

I found the greatest Love of all inside of me.

The Greatest Love of all is easy to achieve;

Learning to love the SON is the Greatest Love of all.

I believe the children are our future.

Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

Give them a Rock of Hope—to make it easier. Let the children’s honesty

Remind us how we used to be.

I decided long ago to live for Him who makes me whole.

When I fail, when I succeed, I can press on because I’m freed.

No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my destiny…

Because the Greatest Love of all is happening to me;

I found the Greatest Love of all inside of me.

The Greatest Love of all is easy to achieve;

Learning to Love the Son—it is the Greatest Love of all.

And you should know that special place that you’ve been dreaming of

Leads you to the risen King…find your strength in HIM.

To see and hear this song

Jesus has a way. That’s all the more reason to embrace Jesus’ ways and allow Him the liberty to do Miracles. His Miracles are what we need. This is planet earth, He is the Lion of Judah and He wants to own His planet.
