Best Loved

Though You are love and may be everywhere,
You and Your love aren’t everywhere the same,
of Your love, Lord, You give the greatest share
to us, for we most set Your love aflame.

Your’s love’s so great, it stirs the stars to fire,
expands the universe at lightning speed,
yet aims at humans, who stir Your desire,
for we alone fill Your love’s greatest need.

The universe and stars will pass away,
while we’ll love You for all eternity,
and though Your laws they faithfully obey,
You most love us who love You ‘cause we’re free.

And like us, You love families, friends, the rest,
but love us best when we love You the best.
