Perfect Love
Shai Linne Lyrics

Now let's get straight to the topic, God's love is weighty to process
The love of God is hard to comprehend, and it takes a lot of effort and concentration to understand it fully.

And apart from the Holy Spirit, we're unable to digest
Without the Holy Spirit's help, it is impossible to fully understand and appreciate God's love.

Because man's depraved in his logic, so God's haters will mock it
Human beings, due to their sinful nature, have a distorted way of thinking, which causes those who do not have a relationship with God to ridicule and reject His love.

But inter-trinitarian love should make us astonished
The love shared between the members of the Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - should leave us amazed and in awe.

Imagine the Son enjoying the embrace of His Father
The Son and the Father share an intimate and loving relationship, which brings joy to both of them.

Eternally paying Him homage as He bathed in His knowledge
The Son is constantly worshiping and honoring the Father, reveling in His infinite wisdom and understanding.

Equally faithful and sovereign, gracious, patient and honest Cosmic greatness blazing with radiance- conscious
The Father and Son share the same character traits - faithful, sovereign, gracious, patient, and honest - and their glory and greatness are beyond description.

Holy Spirit also present, full display of His God-ness
The Holy Spirit, who is also God, is present in this scene, and His divine nature is fully on display.

No creation could watch this- it wasn't safe for their optics
The sheer magnitude and majesty of this display of divine love and glory would be too much for any created being to witness without being consumed by it.

What an awesome scene in heaven with all esteem and reverence
This scene of the Father and Son sharing their love and glory is truly awe-inspiring, and it is rightly regarded with the utmost respect and admiration.

It's Psalm 16:11 as conveyed through the prophet
This scene in heaven is a fulfillment of the prophetic words spoken in Psalm 16:11.

Overflow of joy and love, the Father made Him a promise
As a result of the love shared between the Father and Son, the Father made a promise to give the Son a people to save from their sins.

To give His Son a people to liberate from their bondage
The Father promised to give the Son a group of people to rescue from their slavery to sin and bring them into the freedom of salvation.

So they're no longer slaves and hostages, but blameless and spotless
As a result of this promise, the people who are saved through the work of the Son are no longer enslaved to sin or held captive by it, but are made blameless and pure in God's sight.

Consequence of eternal love- our salvation's accomplished!
The ultimate result of the eternal love shared within the Trinity is the accomplishment of our salvation through the work of Jesus Christ.

Love so perfect
God's love is so flawless and complete.

Love eternally
God's love is infinite and everlasting.

Unchanging, Holy, Righteous Love
God's love is constant, and it is completely pure and just.

Transcends our understanding
God's love is beyond what our finite minds can fully comprehend or grasp.

But in Your nature there is perfect love
God's perfect love is an essential part of His character and nature.

Now it's one thing to consider God's love that's within
It is important to understand the love of God that exists within the Trinity, but there is more to it than that.

But how could God's love extend to men corrupted with sin?
It is difficult to understand how God's love can reach out to sinful human beings who are tainted by their own wickedness.

Because we certainly don't deserve it, He's perfect and we're imperfect
It is abundantly clear that we do not deserve God's love, as we are flawed and marred by our sinfulness.

What's lurking beneath the surface? His mercy and deeper purpose
Despite our unworthiness, God's love for us is rooted in His mercy and His overarching plan for our redemption and salvation.

Made in His likeness, installed with reminders of His law
Human beings were created in God's image, and we have been given reminders of His character and commands to guide us in our lives.

Despite our blindness from the fall, His kindness reaches all
Even though we are spiritually blind and unable to perceive the truth, God's kindness still extends to all people.

The fact He allows the sun to rise on this evil planet
The continued existence of the world, despite the evil that exists within it, is a testament to God's loving kindness and patience.

Means that His love is such that we can't even understand it
God's love is so vast and complete that our finite minds are unable to fully comprehend its extent and depth.

In other words, don't let traditions fool ya, gotta let them Scriptures school ya
It is important to base our understanding of God's love on the teachings of the Bible, rather than relying on human traditions or opinions.

As a matter of fact, see how Christ reacted when it came to the rich young ruler
The story of Jesus and the rich young ruler illustrates the extent of God's love and mercy, even for those who are wealthy and powerful.

Love explicit, if it isn't His love, what is it
The love of God is evident and clear, and it is the truest form of love that exists.

Restricting Him from inflicting His vengeance on the wicked?
God's love and mercy for all people does not mean that He will not eventually judge and punish those who continue to rebel against Him.

Some call it common grace, but I'm inclined to state
The love and mercy that God shows to all people, regardless of their spiritual state, is sometimes referred to as common grace.

That it's the love of God shining from a place that beyond time and space
This common grace comes from a place beyond the confines of time and space, from God's eternal nature and character.

They say, "If God is love, what's eternal torment for?"
Some people struggle to reconcile the concept of God's love with the idea of eternal punishment for those who reject Him.

Well, He loves the world for sure, but He loves His glory more!
God's love for the world is real, but it is not the only aspect of His character - His love for His own glory and righteousness is just as important.

Perhaps the most misunderstood aspect of this subject
The love that God shows to His chosen and elect people is often difficult for people to grasp or accept.

Would be the love of God that He expresses towards the elect
God has a special kind of love for those whom He has chosen for salvation, which sets them apart from the rest of the world.

And the second some people hear that, they get mad inside
The idea of God choosing some people for salvation can be controversial and cause anger or frustration in some people.

But it's a special kind of love the Husband has for His Bride
The love that God shows to His elect is likened to the love that a husband shows to his wife - it is intimate, passionate, and exclusive.

It's a love that distinguishes her and sets her apart
God's love for His chosen people sets them apart from the rest of the world and distinguishes them as His own.

No other woman could ever have the same effect on His heart
God's love for His elect is unique and incomparable to any other kind of love or affection.

Because this Groom is not adulterous, this marriage has no openness
God's love for His elect is pure and holy, and it is not subject to any kind of infidelity or unfaithfulness.

His devotion is traced back to when the world was motionless
God's love for His people is not a new or recent development - it has been present since before the creation of the world.

In love we were predestined for adoption as a son
God's love for His elect is so great that He predestined them to be adopted as His own children.

Not for anything that we've done, check Ephesians chapter one
God's choice of His elect was not based on their own merits or good deeds, but was solely a result of His own love and grace.

When we lived as God's opponents, He gave His only Son for atonement
Even though we were once enemies of God, He still showed His love for us by sending His Son to die in our place and make atonement for our sins.

So we've got to see He can't possibly love us more than He does this moment
God's love for His elect is already at its fullest extent, and it cannot possibly be increased or enhanced in any way.

In love, He justified us, in love, He sanctifies us
God's love for His people is demonstrated through the process of justification and sanctification, where He declares them to be righteous and sets them apart for His own use and purposes.

So we don't have to jump through hoops to try to make Him like us
Because of God's love for His elect, they do not need to earn His favor or try to make themselves more acceptable to Him through their own efforts.

One thing we truly cannot fathom- we're stunned
The idea that God loves His elect with the same love that He has for His Son is something that is beyond our comprehension and leaves us amazed and humbled.

The Father loves us with the very love He has for His Son!
God's love for His elect is of the same nature and quality as His love for His own Son, Jesus Christ.
