The Force That Holds the Stars

What power commands the morning light

And sets the boundaries of the sea?

What power hung the moon at night

And painted every leaf on every tree?

It is the power of Your love,

A force that nothing can contain.

It reached from highest heaven above

To pull me from the deepest pain.

Your love can move the mountains tall

And calm the raging of the sea.

Your love can catch me when I fall

And whisper, "You belong to me."

There is no chain that love can't break,

No wound so deep it cannot heal.

No soul so lost it cannot take

And with its endless welcome seal.

The power of Your love has won

The greatest battle ever fought.

It gave to death Your only Son,

And then from death, new life He brought.

So let that love now have its way,

Transform my heart and shape my will.

From night, it brings the brightest day,

And in its quiet, I am still.

Scripture for the Power of His Love

Love That Surpasses Knowledge:

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:17-19)

Nothing Can Separate Us:

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)

Love That Compels Us:

"For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died." (2 Corinthians 5:14)

Rooted in Love:

"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." (Ephesians 3:18, NLT)

God Is Love:

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him." (1 John 4:8-9)

Love Casts Out Fear:

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18)

The Greatest Commandment:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30)

Love That Strengthens:

"I can do all this through him who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13) — for it is His love that empowers us.

The Love That Redeems:

"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." (Ephesians 2:4-5)
