Love

LOVE IS NOT BLIND
IT JUST SEES PAST
ALL THE PAIN INFLICTED
ALL THE HARM INTENDED

LOVE SEES PAST A PERSON’S FLAWS
LOVE SEES PAST WHAT SOCIETY SAYS SHOULD KEEP US APART
LOVE COMES FROM THE LORD
LOVE IS KIND AND GENTLE AND COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

GOD’S BRAND OF LOVE CORRECTS WRONGDOING
WITHOUT BEING TOO HARD OR MEAN
GOD REMINDS US THAT OUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN
THAT IF WE TRY TO LIVE FOR HIM, HE WILL WASH US CLEAN

LOVE SEES THAT A PERSON IS ALWAYS IN NEED
EVEN RICH PEOPLE CAN USE SOME GOOD SEEDS 
WE ALL NEED COMPASSION, TLC, AND A LISTENING EAR
WE ALL NEED TO BE LOVED BY PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND AND HOLD US NEAR AND DEAR
TO THEIR HEARTS AND MAKE IT EASY FOR US TO SAME
TRUE LOVE IS FORGIVING TO THOSE WHO WE TREAT WELL BUT THEY DON’T TREAT US THE SAME

GOD’S LOVE GETS US THROUGH DEPRESSION
IT RELIEVES ANGER AND HEALS PAIN
THUNDERSTORMS STILL COME IN LIFE
BUT GOD’S LOVE SHELTER US FROM THE WIND AND THE RAIN

GOD EXPECTS US TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART, MIND, AND SOUL
AND HE EXPECTS TO LOVE EACH OTHER NO MATTER WHAT COMES OUR WAY
HE EXPECTS US TO SHOW LOVE TO EVERYONE, EVEN THOSE WHO DON’T LOVE US
EACH AND EVERY DAY
