Altogether Lovely

Hear the breaking of a heart,
In love with us the very start,
To reconcile, never again to part, 
Altogether Lovely.

Reaching through the realms of time,
Healing the sick, lame, deaf, and blind.
Freeing imprisoned, captured minds,
Altogether Lovely.

To even raise up from the dead,
those in tombs and from death beds.
Born to be slain, death for life in our stead,
Altogether Lovely 

Hearing the plea of my Savior’s heart,
In love with me from the very start.
For a love beyond time, never to part,
Altogether Lovely.

For He is Love, such Love Divine,
His child, I am His, and He is mine,
As much is yours, as He is mine,
Altogether Lovely.

This is a beautifully uplifting poem! The recurring refrain of "Altogether Lovely" anchors each stanza perfectly, creating a soothing and rhythmic flow. Your use of rhyme gives the verses a wonderful musicality that beautifully carries the deep, heartfelt message of divine love and reconciliation. It is a truly comforting and inspiring read.
