Love Is God

Since God is love, then all true love is His,
by loving, I take part in the divine,
true love gives me a taste of Who God is,
and in some way by love I make God mine.

I can’t create love nor can I invent it,
true love must reach me from some other place,
I cannot buy it, borrow it or rent it,
such beauty has to be a gift of grace.

All love is shrouded in His mystery,
we wonder at a thing so wonderful,
why does God share Himself with little me,
so natural--love, yet still a miracle.

Lord, let me not play lightly with Your love,
I’ll only understand when we’re above.
