1 John 4:7 

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, 

and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God.

 

Confused

 

Lover’s quarrel that’s a first ... where did that come from?

Is it me or is it you ... who defined some wrong?

We’ll work it out and you’ll see ... there always is tomorrow

And it is a fact indeed ... that we all belong

 

Author of Love, foundational ... He resides somewhere

Smiling and presenting Grace ... in showers from above

It rains on everyone, you know ... the just and the unjust

For that is what Grace is all about ... a never ending love

 

Open your mouth and drink the drops ... let it cool your face

Don’t run for an umbrella ... as it splashes down on you

Take it in its fullness ... to share with the human race

It is free to offer ... as it channels right through you

 

A never ending stream ... why do we dam it up?

Why do we want to keep for self ... what is for everyone?

Is it our own nature ... that we polish every day

to make it appear, what it ain’t ... to become overdone?

 

A never ending struggle ... it is supposed to be

But most of us don’t struggle ... as we compromise away

The values first bestowed ... as to “love one another”

Or “love your neighbor as yourself” ... each and every day

 

A fifteen hundred dollar suit ... a five thousand dollar watch

And then live in a palace while ... talking about meek and humble

Possessions don’t mean anything ... and to have a personal jet

Which is just for the ministry ... as with life itself you fumble?
