Notes About The Poem

Matthew 5:43-44 You have heard that it have been said that shall love thy neighbor and hate their enemy but I say unto you love your enemies bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you.

THAT'S LOVE

Though hurt, returned not hurt for hurt, 
He gave us pearls, 
Healed delivered, and forgave us,
Died for the world,
That's love

His flesh ripped from His frame 
for just you and I,
But He cried "Father forgive them,"
before deciding to die.
That's love. 

We stand up for our rights, 
and defend our belief, 
But who stands fr Him,
for Him turn over a new leaf.
For love.

We forward march like an army, 
faces like a flint, 
A relationship with Christ 
with Him Eternity spent,
For love.

Let us pray for one another, 
facing eternity each day, 
When love hurts, let us forgive, 
hurt for hurt’s, not the way,
For love.

Nothing is worth missing heaven, 
what would one give for his soul,
Jesus Christ, our example,  
Greatest love ever told. 
Now that's love.
