A GOD WITH LOVE SO TRUE

If I (can) speak in the tongues of men and (even) of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. (1 Corinthians 13:1)

When I talk about the love I have for God

I speak various words in English

And sweet words in my mother tongue

My heart is filled with an indescribable longing

My eyes soften 
I close my eyes

And then the tears spill down my face

My spirit becomes alert

Words are not enough to describe how I truly feel

His love excites my soul

And I sway in his love

His love is like a warm blanket around me

For his love is so pure and true

Many of us have a special way we feel

That unique feeling when we worship God

That feeling of security

That feeling of divine love

It settles on the meek like a sheet of cotton

And soothes all pains

His love surpasses all

It is patient

It is kind

It is divine

It is perfect

It is right

His love is pure and sweet

His love is ever true

Oh! If only we could comprehend

If only men could open their mortal eyes to His divine love

See how much He loves us all

We sin yet He loves us

The bling lifestyle of the world pulls us away from him

Yet He waits on us

How much He has given us…so so much

A supreme being that gave His only son to die...

...to die for us all

That is a God of integrity and honor

A Being of supremacy

The God of all creation

A God with love so true

He is My God
