Last Holy Week, I was rummaging my song books to find a song to sing at our family retreat. I didn't know there were so many good songs that I wasn't listening to. So what I did was to find the song in Youtube to hear the generally feel and melody (since I have the pieces anyway.) One of the songs that I heard was this song "Pour Out My Love On You." I immediately developed a love for this song since it talks about loving our God to the extent of our abilities.
I recall in the book of Matthew the story of the woman who had a precious and expensive perfume in her possession. And yet when she had an encounter with Jesus, she was willing to break the perfume bottle and pour out the contents on Him. Other people saw her action as very rash and not prudent. They thought why waste such a good and perfect bottle of perfume when it could buy food to feed the poor. But Jesus replied, "She has done a good thing for me... and wherever this gospel is preached, what this woman had done will be spoken in memory of her."
Here's the lyrics of the song:
Verse:
I don't know how to say exactly how I feel
And I can't begin to tell you what your love has meant
I'm lost for words
Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think you are
My dearest friend
Lord this is my desire
To pour my love on you
Chorus:
Like oil upon your feet
Like wine for you to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on you
With praises like the perfume
I lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone
I pour my love on you
Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think you are
My dearest friend Lord this is my desire
To pour my love on you
Repeat Chorus

Hope you can show your love for God in your own way!
