I have never known love like this before.

Royston 1946 (Reading)



I have never known love like this before.
He loves, loves again and loves even more.
Greater love has no man than this:
that for my life Jesus surrendered His.

His love reaches out from beyond the grave
as He stretches out wide His arms to save.
This is love amazing and so divine,
for I belong to Him and He is mine.
