Rita Springer's song 'There Is No Striving' celebrates the unconditional, freely given love of God. The lyrics emphasize that believers do not need to earn God's affection or strive for His attention, because He has already made them His children. The song reassures listeners that God's love is unchanging and that He provides everything they need. It encourages resting in God's promises and simply believing. The repeated refrain 'There is no striving in Your love' captures the core message of grace and rest in God's care.

There is no striving

There is no striving in your love

Freely you have given

Freely you have given to us

You have made us yours

You have called us daughters and sons

This is who you are

This is what your love has done


You have given everything my heart could ever need

And all you ask is I believe

And I am resting safe inside your promise to provide

And nothing could ever change Your love

Your love for me, your love for me


There is no striving

There is no striving in your love

Freely you have given

Freely you have given to us

You have made us yours

You have called us daughters and sons

This is who you are

This is what your love has done


You have given everything my heart could ever need

And all you ask is I believe

And I am resting safe inside your promise to provide

And nothing could ever change your love

Your love for me, your love for me


You never ask that I earn Your affection

I could never earn something that's free

I never have to fight for Your attention

Because Your eyes are ever upon me

You never ask that I earn your affection

I could never earn something that's free

I never have to fight for your attention

Because your eyes are ever upon me


There is no striving

There is no striving in Your love

Freely you have given

Freely you have given to us

You have made us yours

You have called us daughters and sons

This is who you are

This is what your love has done

There is no striving

There is no striving in Your love

Freely you have given to us

Freely you have given to us
