O Perfect God Thy Love – Hymn Lyric
O perfect God, Thy love
As perfect Man did share
Here upon earth each form of ill
Thy fellow men must bear.
Now from the tree of scorn
We hear Thy voice again;
Thou who didst take our mortal flesh
Hast felt our mortal pain.
Thy body suffers thirst,
Parched are Thy lips and dry:
How poor the offering man can bring
Thy thirst to satisfy!
O Savior, by Thy thirst
Borne on the cross of shame,
Grant us in all our sufferings leave
To glorify Thy name.
That through each pain and grief
Our souls may onward move
To gain more likeness to Thy life,
More knowledge of Thy love.

When we think about Jesus’ suffering, it helps us to put our own challenges into perspective. No matter what we are going through, we can find comfort in knowing that Jesus understands our pain and is with us every step of the way.

Just as Jesus endured the cross for us, we can find the courage to face our own struggles and come out stronger on the other side.
No matter what we are going through, we can take comfort in the fact that Jesus understands our pain and is walking alongside us in our journey. His love is perfect and unchanging, and it is through our own suffering that we can come to know Him more deeply and grow in our faith.
So let us remember the words of the hymn “O Perfect God Thy Love,” and find solace in the knowledge that Jesus is with us in our pain and suffering. Through our trials, may we draw closer to Him and experience the fullness of His love in our lives.
