The Love of God

Being of meek and quiet behavior,
I testify to my love for our Savior;
Through the Son of God as I trust,
Steering me away from earthly lust.

While my faith builds its strength,
To persevere at nearly any length;
Gets me through each day in hope,
Hurdling over obstacles as I cope.

Even though no man has seen God,
Still we give Him honor as we laud;
In return He showers us with love,
Raining down from Heaven above.

The love of God reigns deep inside,
That allows Him to enter and abide;
And results in making us complete,
As one in Christ and part of the elite.

But this love is not to be withheld,
To others that it must be propelled;
The love of God is given to share,
Showing one another that we care.
