Ultimate Love

Though from dust I am made you gave me a name Branded with a soul and washed in your blood A precious gift given to guard and preserve A token of the King's genuine love and affection Then you sent me away to fulfill your purpose Be a crutch to others as we journey for a time My prayer, I will not fail as nagging distractions grow And may I not be the cause of another’s deadly fall I have weaknesses and some childish ways, still Sometimes I get lost and my guilt-ridden heart is sad Then your spirit reminds me, this journey’s not about me The reason I exist today is solely to love, as you have willed So when dark whispers come, that I’ll never please you I smile and rejoice because I know who you are! Let me bring love all my days; wherever there’s hate As you are ultimate love, may I too, come to be! ~*~ For John Freeman's "Praises of Life Precept PRIOR Cause, or Your God" Contest
