Weak Love

I love You with my strength, for what it's worth,
mostly, O God, I love You with my weakness;
if of great courage, Lord, I have a dearth,
at least I can just offer You my meekness.
Your foolishness, O God, is wiser than
the wisdom that we claim but ends up foolish,
and so I'll love You any way I can,
if it may even make me seem uncoolish.
My love, O Lord, might not appear so strong,
but then love isn't something that You measure,
my weak love isn't wide or deep or long,
but I have faith it's something that You treasure.
O God, my words and love are often silly,
but they come from my heart, if willy-nilly.
