In the midst of all the turmoil and stress that we have come to know in the year 2020, today we will pause and reflect on the 'Love of God'. The hymn was written on pieces of an orange crate in 1917 in Pasadena, California. It is a great reminder that God's love is infinite, immeasurable, as well as eternal!

This was a shadow of what was to come in the new covenant, a better covenant, in Christ's blood! Today we will sing a hymn written by Robert Lowery which was taken from Hebrews Chapter 8.
