Love Force

Your truth is not what forces me to faith,
nor does Your goodness finally make me go,
Your beauty doesn’t, nor does fear of death,
but love, O Love, You make me love You so.

Your love compels because You, Lord, are love,
I’m forced to love by love though I am free,
can I resist love’s home I’m dreaming of,
where You are waiting, Lord, in love with me?

Love brings on truth for all Your love is true,
love causes goodness like a miracle,
all beauty’s lovely power comes from You,
for You are wholly supernatural.

So strong Your love stirs me to loving too,
I’m forced to freely give my love to You.
