Bring Love

Before the act of give comes that of bring,
you can’t get water from a well that’s dry,
we first must have before we bring a thing,
and we should see the taker eye-to-eye.

What do I have, O God, that You might wish?
I only have what You have given me,
no stone I’ll give if You ask for a fish,
just love can I because You made me free.

But with that love, my faithfulness to You,
no love without obeying Your commands,
or I’m a liar and my love’s untrue,
love too is proven by my charitable hands.

O Lord, You bring Your everything to me,
I bring love true that’s everything to You.
