~ If selfishness precipitates, love will evaporate ~

Love Immutable

Perfect present from heaven above
You and I, we fit like a glove
Please let's not fight
It's just not right
So happy that we're so in love

Let our relationship grow
               ~love reciprocates~
Let sensation be sensible
               ~kindness mitigates~
Let meditation be met
               ~patience celebrates~
With love that's suitable

Cultivating our love to grow
We must let communication flow
Please hold me dear
You have my ear
Talk to me I want to know

Let our relationship grow
               ~love reciprocates~
Let sensation be sensible
               ~kindness mitigates~
Let meditation be met
               ~patience celebrates~
With love that's beautiful

A three-fold cord won't easily fray
I thank God for us every day
Through thick and thin
You're my best friend
Blessed that we feel this way

Let our relationship grow
               ~love reciprocates~
Let sensation be sensible
               ~kindness mitigates~
Let meditation be met
               ~patience celebrates~
With love that's suitable

With love that's beautiful
With love immutable

Mark J. Halliday February 25, 2019 at 12:39 AM Sweetly sentimental. Have a melody or sound in mind? Mark Toney February 25, 2019 at 12:11 PM I do, in my mind :) Sad thing is I can't read or write music, so I have to find the time to work it out on the piano. Thanks for stopping by with some encouragement, Mark! ~Mark

Gregory Richard Barden February 15, 2019 at 7:37 AM Yeah, I hear music with this one - I have written and sold many CCM songs and this would make a great adoration tune or even P&W couples song. There are two British musicians who are my fav CCM artists, one named Eric Champion, (his early stuff - check out a song called "Peaceful" - so healing!), and an amazingly gifted guy named Chris Eaton ... I have met them both. I was about to do a project with Roby Duke as producer, when he died the day after Christmas, 2007. Amazing guy. Blessings! Mark Toney February 15, 2019 at 4:49 PM Greg, thank you so much for your most encouraging comments! ~Mark
