Love


What is it to love?

Popularly mistaken

Most misunderstood

Greatest misuse of a word

None seem to quite understand

 

In reality

Love is precious and sacred

Is a decision

Rather than an emotion

Love does not fall prey to lies


 

Love is holy, pure

Love holds no immoral thoughts

Keeps no wrong record

Has discernment and wisdom

A binder, not a binding

 

True love paid the price

Became flesh and dwelt with us

Greatest example

To which no one can compare

Of which we are to pattern

 

Love endures all things

Love walks in righteousness

It believes in truth

Knows when to say “no”

Love has not and will not fail
