Love Is
LOVE IS... from A to Z:
Almighty force since God* is omnipotent source
Building life along grace toward triumphant course…
Compassion at work, exemplified by Lord Christ
Directed for man’s redemption, heavenly priced…
Earnest care for others, setting aside own need
Fulfilling the biblical altruism creed…
Goodness of welfare motive, goodwill prevailing
Hoisting hope against helplessness assailing…
Inspiration gearing influential impact
Jubilant feeling and joyous state with truth’s fact…
Kindness kindling our urges toward reaching-out
Liberating us from selfishness and greed’s clout…
Mercy, moving heart for ministry endeavour
Nurturing souls through counsel of wisdom savour…
Oh! Gift of the Spirit to grant with freedom choice
Personally shown over apathetic poise…
Quickening touch propping meaningful survival
Re-creating existence with blest revival…
Signature of charity, cheering self-esteem
Transforming “me first” attitude toward “we team”…
Understanding “Love thy neighbor as thyself” sense
Valuing togetherness, and each one’s presence…
Worthy treasure to cherish; more precious when shared
Xenial with thankful bliss as praise, totally bared…
Yielding lustful gain so that peace for all will reign
Zealous to do best, honouring the Lord --- love’s main.
*1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
