How to Love


So you came and set this heart ablaze,

Even when I didn't think it'd be okay,

You walked with me through my dismay,

You were the only light in a dark place,

I soon found love in Your embrace.

It is so difficult to learn how to love in a world full of hate, greed, and destruction.

War tears our hearts to pieces,

But peace can be found in Jesus.

His sacrifice showed us that we were not alone,

His sacrifice showed us how to love.
