God shows His love by leading me to love,
a better love to give than to receive;
of course the best love waits for me above,
a love that's mine so long as I believe.
As God is love, how foolish I can say
that I can love without His love below;
drenched in His love, mine’s not a game to play,
for in my love His ideal love must show.
Who says it’s true God loves us all the same,
if love must ricochet for love to be?
That God’s not free with love who dares to claim?
His freedom, like His love, is really free.
O Lord, You don't need me to love You, true,
yet desperately You want and lead me to.
