How To Make 2008 Great (Part 5): Keep Love Alive and Straight

the one thing that mankind can't seem to live without
is a love that's unconditional without question or doubt

Phileos love is the type of love that exists between friends
Eros love is the romantic love between women and men
but Agape love is the type of love that we all seek
an unlimited and unconditional love that we would all like to meet
a love that does not care about one's intelligence or beauty
a love that is not dependent on one's financial obligations or duty
a love that only gets stronger from day to day
a love straight from the heart that will never go astray

God allows us to experience His love authentically
for Agape love is a love of unconditonality
a love everlasting that will never die
a love transcending from the Kingdom up high
a love that will never diminish nor abate
a love that is alive and straight
a love that will make 2008 great

God loved us so much that He sent us His only child
a messenger of love to be with us for a little while
He came in human form to modify our behavior
to show us a pure love that was truly worthy of a Savior
humble in His manner and wise in His ways
He showed us a type of love that is unheard of in this day
and despite being persecuted, tormented and beaten to a pulp
at His last meal with His betrayer He did sup
and despite being denied three times by His most devoted friend
with His blood dripping on Mount Calvary as His life was about to end
with His dying breath He said to His Father God
"forgive them" for they are unaware of the love I came to impart
and that is the type of love we need to keep alive and straight
a love that will make the year 2008 great

to fall in love with Jesus is the best thing you could ever do
to have a true and honest love the will never fail you
a love between you and your personal Savior
a love that will make you want to change your behavior
a love that will never turn to hate nor discriminate
a love that is pure, true, alive and always straight
a love that will make the year 2008 great
