The Loan of Love

God lent me love before I was conceived,
when long before then He conceived of me,
I could not love when His love I received
‘til birth He loaned me the ability.

I felt His loan of love so natural,
for on me, some their loan of love would use,
I could not sense how great the miracle--
the Lord of love would loan me His good news.

Love makes the world go ‘round I came to know,
I exercised it in my worldy gym,
but just how fast and furious love could go
I’d only feel when paying it back to Him.

How large Your loan of love I will not see
‘til, Lord, it flows into eternity.
