I love You Lord Jesus, Nothing Compares to You - Howard Higashi Hymn

I enjoy the way the hymn writer describe why he does he love the Lord. He describes the Lord as "the most Precious One", "no other one compares to You". I was really touched by the words "most" and "compare" - "most" is actually the highest description for the things that are compared one to another(not just "more", but "most"), and to compare means to put two or more things all together and see which one is better. When the hymn writer says no other one 'compare' to You this means that he had tried lots of things before. And the conclusion is "No one compares to You" - we really need this kind of experience and growth until we realize and find out that no one actually compares to our Lord Jesus Christ! Sometimes, I myself actually still have someone/some other things on my mind that compete to the lord. While listening to this hymn, it is just like the Lord wants to reveal Himself to me so that I would love Him more -I don't love Him enough, I don't have the right and highest "taste" about Him yet. Lord Jesus, I want to love You more!

Dear Lord, most lovely One,

Nothing compares to You!

Lord, keep my heart always true to You - love song to the Lord Jesus, by Bro. Howard Higashi

I don't know about your heart, but I can testify that my heart is not all the time seeking the Lord, or treasuring Him above everything else. We need to tell the Lord, based on His Word - Lord, keep my heart always true to You! We love You, Lord, but we can't keep our heart! You commanded us in Proverbs to "keep our heart with all vigilence" - Lord, we would love to, but we can't! Do keep our heart always loving You - a love shining brighter all the way for You! A love so fresh, just like the day I first touched You! O, Lord, a fresh love and consecration to You!

[watch this video on youtube, enjoy the Bible verses, and also read / enjoy the lyrics on hymnal.net.]

1. Lord, keep my heart always true to You,

Never backsliding, always viewing You,

A heart that is pure that sees only You,

A heart that loves You and treasures only You.

Your love constrains me to give my all to You.

Lord, I can't help it; my heart is drawn to You.

Oh what a privilege! I give myself to You!

I love You, Lord, dearest Lord.

I love You! I just love You!

2. Lord, keep my love burning brightly for You,

A love never dwindling always hot for You,

A love, shining brighter all the way for You,

A love, so fresh like the day I first touched You.

3. Lord, take my life, I present it to You!

If I had a thousand, I'd pour all on You!

Nothing withholding, my all is for You.

My life and my future, dear Lord, is all for You.

What can we say, Lord, but - keep our heart all the days of our life open towards You, nothing withholding... we just love You, Lord!
