God's Greatest Strength

God’s greatest strength is love, so is it mine?
I see my body’s marvelously made,
but God’s made best the side that’s most divine,
He turns my lemon soul to lemonade.

For God is love, His best and brightest trait,
He tries to recreate that love in me,
yet to be love, it carries extra freight:
I cannot love unless I’m also free.

All-powerful love sets limits on God’s power,
if He used force, my freedom I would lose,
in me in order for His love to flower,
He has to sometimes let me evil choose.

The answer’s to put, Lord, my faith in You,
and right now freely choose to love You too.
