True Love
Thank God
The sun is shining, somewhere
maybe i'd not be whining, were i only there
though here, rains wash over me, and i am chilled
thanks to Jesus, i live forever, here or there, live, or killed(hey, it rhymed!)
so am i cold and weary, taxed and bled
i only need to stop, and look ahead
in the direction of societies eventual correction
for a God, hard at work, in the Servants section
moving through, prompting, helping the good we do
my thanks to the Holy Trinity, and to you
seeing goodness revealed within the lives we lead
i am made aware that the world "has", and yet's in need
so i can look forward with eager awating
into the future with calm, anticipating
a moment, maybe today, or tomorrow
with no more feet of clay, or sorrow
when the goodness of God in man
will not be just a sign, or temporary plan
but merely a step, from okay for now, to a God"like",eternally
when we, who know Christ, will see
what we, alone, can never achieve
be "of", or "in", or even so much as believe...in...
.....True Love.......
we have no Love, such as "His", with which to compare
to be with God, in a real sense, to feel Him there
even in the vaguest way,to know that we are not alone
almost trips my circuit breaker, that my Maker would condone
to pay attention to me, a gnat, a mote
in the grand symphony of life, barely a note
still, 'tis i that Jesus loves, and you
and Him that i love, to feel, and to do
of His pleasure, as well as i can
which is downright embarrassing, being only a man
such love, that He would notice, or care for me at all
even listen, nevermind answer, when i call
such is True Love
as if we would indulge, or listen to a flea
to pamper, and coddle, and answer their every plea
all of them
to love them
really, we give ourselves far and away to much credit, most of the time, we really do
if you really knew God, you'd know what i'm talking about...
