God's Love

Man stands below his God above
seeking to earn his Master's love.

Leaves coins in church to help the poor;
service is over, he's out the door.

Beyond the realm of holy sight,
he worries through the dark of night.

Is God still there despite man's sin?
Does love abide the beast within?

Good works aside, what more remains
to prove man's worth on heavenly plains?

These simple words from Jesus, brother:
God is love so, love one another.

So challenging a piece Janese, really well thought through, and beautifully penned. Blessings, Gordon
