Love from Above 

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-card

~*~

What is love?

This word we often hear?

Has its meaning been diluted,

Made cryptic and unclear?

Is it a feeling,

A warmth in the heart?

Is it a spark from which

A romance does start?

Or is love much more,

Does it transcend all these?

Is it sublime and sacred,

Bringing us to our knees?

Sublime, spiritual, sacred

Yes, love is all three

For God Himself is love

Love is the Trinity

Love is patient and kind

Selfless and humble too

Love pours of one’s self

And aligns with all True

Look at Christ closely

And know love complete

He accepted the Cross

Pierced hands and feet

Love is giving one’s all

Pouring of self for another

Great must our love be

For our Father, sister, brother

Yet to give of one’s self

Does not empty the soul

For God fills those who love

With His love perfect and whole

Rejoice then, dear Christian

Praise your Father Above

Feelings are fleeting

But perfect and eternal is love

When all passes away

When this earth is no more

Faith, hope and love remain

And love the greatest to endure

Dear Father, fill our hearts

Make them with love overflow

Let us share this love with all

That You all may know

And love You more deeply

I will each passing day

To be more like Christ

This I earnestly pray

May I see and know love

May love I show and live

May love be my fragrance

The sweet aroma I give

And I will express love

This word we often hear

I will proclaim Truth

That love is evident and clear
