To Love for Cross and Kingdom

This was the closing prayer poem from my sermon For Cross and Kingdom: Two Keys to Christian Love. October 19, 2025. First Chinese Baptist Church, Walnut, California.

To Love for Cross and Kingdom

To love for cross and kingdom
To love with all my might
The love of Christ compels me
To love and shine his light

Our joyful obligation
To love like Jesus Christ
For at the cross, he saved the lost
And gave to us new life

To love for cross and kingdom
To love with all my might
The love of Christ compels me
To love and shine his light

Our eager expectation
The hour and the day
Christ’s Kingdom comes, the battle won
And all bow at his name

To love for cross and kingdom
To love with all my might
The love of Christ compels me
To love and shine his light
