Choice of Love

I love because God shared His love with me,
I live because with me His life He shares,
without His love and life I would not be,
reason enough for me to say my prayers.

Since God is love, all true love comes from Him,
though we can feel love Satan twists his way,
our chances with his kind of love are slim,
we can’t let love be ruled by sinful sway.

I think I am an individual soul,
and since I’m free, my destiny is mine,
and yet God’s Providence is in control,
my destiny is tied to the divine.

You and the devil offer me a choice,
and I am free, Lord, to tune out Your voice.
