Love melts every heart
It patiently endures
Every fiery dart
That seeks to destroy
Because love does not employ
Vengeance or hate
Love is patient
It knows how to wait
While it meanwhile
Believes the best
Withstanding every test
Tribulation and trial
Willing to go the extra mile
Love embodies
The nature of God
Awakes the heavenly hosts
Is humble
Not quick to boast
Is ready to sacrifice
Twenty-four seven
Purging out all fatal leaven
That pollutes and binds the soul
Because the love from above
It makes us whole
It enables us to forgive
It enables us to give
It enables us to live.
So onward Christian soldier!
The love of the Lord is your anthem,
Your victory
Your battle cry
Without it you die.
Though faith makes all things possible
Love makes all things easy.
Because humanity must see
We must continue diligently
To radiate this unconditional love
Which rejoices in truth
Never is uncouth
Lest we offend
Those to whom we are called
To free and loose
Such a love
Captivates the hardest heart
Surpasses intelligence
With skillful art
Manifesting divine diplomacy and tact
Always sensitive and aware
Knowing how one should act
Avoiding the compulsion
To react
Resort to an attack
Graciously instead
It takes momentary flak
Preferring the other
Above themself
Choosing rather
To die to self
To rejoice in others
Help sisters and brothers
Give space
And not smother
Remembering that our time
It is precious
No need therefore
To be capricious
Impetuous
Explosive and ridiculous
For life is short
Let us therefore pray hard
Lest sloth overtake us
And we become
Sluggish as lard
Love is far better
For thy heart and thy life
Therefore purpose within
To eliminate
Contention and strife
Friend, walk in love
Enjoy newness of life!
