I Corinthians 13:1-13

Love

Denis Brent Rees

True Love never fails to prove that it's kind
yet when You look at us how little You find
Father You teach us to be kind in every day
but we let our selfishness stand in the way

"I love you" flows like water from some taps
when we're called to love we suffer a relapse
In beauty we have no problem showing love
love for the ugly we leave to our Lord above

Father we are who we are because of Love
Love You sent to us here from Heaven above
And still most of our love is left merely to talk
disciples of Christ need to put Love in our walk

Jesus said if we love Him we'll do His commands
we think 'Love' until we have to dirty our hands
When others live and speak with our approval
we love them and if not we seek their removal

Oh when Father will we live the Love You intend
when will we share daily The Love that You send
Just when will Love come first in our own behavior
and when will we love like the Love of our Savior

True Love is found through Christ Jesus The Way
His Love is the true Love we all need to display
Love is lived out when our Christ Jesus is served
Lord so far we're loved much more than deserved

In The Name of Christ Jesus

Amen!
