In Deed

Not for what I have done, but what you've done for me, you love me in deed. Not for who I now am, but for who I will be, your love intercedes. Not for my blemishes, but in spite of all them, your love supercedes. You refine me with fire like a purified gem. You love me indeed. 6-20-2021

Wonderful rhyme scheme Juliet. Really adds to the lyric quality. Reminds me of the song by Casting Crowns - one of my favorites. Love the subtle hints of God's "refining," perfect love. Wonderfully said my friend. Congratulations!

Thanks, Sam. I love Casting Crowns. "Not because of who I am, but because of what you've done. Not because of what I've done, but because of who you are."
