The many Praises for Love


Many languages I may speak,
It is for many things I seek;
But if I do not have the love,
I would not find any thereof.

As a clashing cymbal or gong,
With a sound that is loud and strong;
I may have a gift that is sealed,
That still has not yet been revealed.

I may understand all I know,
Or still mysteries yet to show;
With enough faith to move hill tops,
Or methods to make bumper crops.

But without love there is nothing,
And not a blessing will God bring;
So without any love to give,
What is worth in this life to live?

I may give away all I had,
That could be making me feel glad;
But without love this will not save,
Someone from a fiery grave.

Because when I was a child,
I was not tender and mild;
For I had an immature thought,
That I was some kind of hotshot.

But being an adult I grew,
In maturity then I knew;
To discard my childish ways,
That were from my childhood days.

The blurred image in the mirror,
Has been me with coming nearer;
To time when I am face to face,
With Christ and shining His good grace.
