Love in the Way

I don't like love when love gets in the way.
If God is love, true love is meant to be,
but for His true love, He wants me to pray,
love binds me to Him, yet He sets me free.
His love keeps coming back, His voice is clear,
but this world's so enticing, seems so good,
and I don't want to miss the fun that's here,
is there a rule I must do what I should?
There's more than God's love in this world of ours,
and free among these things He lets me choose,
there is His work, or I can smell the flowers,
if I choose Him, there's so much I could lose.
What's love, O Lord? I know it lies in You.
But if love's in the way, care I it's true?
