Selfish Love

Love’s selfish when I think, since God is love,
I will love more so I’ll be more like God,
for true love’s always blest by heaven above,
and to be true, love cannot be facade.

Love’s most unselfish when we put God first,
God lives in all so we help all in need,
not to love God in others is the worst,
like Good Samaritans, we love by deed.

God orders us to love, we must obey,
to face Him first, then see Him in their face,
to be unselfish with them that I pray,
so He will be more generous with His grace.

I’ll be unselfish, Lord, with them and You,
if selfish I share more in Your love too.
