What Is Love

A question asked by the ones so young Show me my true love A question asked by the wife now alone Asking "Why?" to the stars above..... This question is begged by the parent in pain When their teen has walked away Telling them they feel no love And they refuse to live their way The question is asked by the one left behind Looking into a cold lone grave For the love they had has gone away And they begged Lord let them stay The question is asked by the little child Walking in heaven today For its mother turned her back on them And threw their life away What is Love and when will we know For so many times it’s near But only to silently slip away Leaving emptiness, doubt and fear You give your life to the one you love You tell them you’ll never leave Your heart feels so full of hope inside Praying their love to receive. We can only look to our Father above To guide us to the one He chose For His plan has been laid out for you What is LOVE? HE only knows When we look for love out on our own we let our emotions guide we have no way of knowing the truth who will stay close by our side Our God knows that precious Love He is guiding us each day Closer to our one true love If we wait He'll show the way For the ones who have been left behind Don't give up for loves still near The ones who left us here alone Our hearts still hold so dear But if our God has opened a door One that only He can give True love will show its shining face Allowing love to live No matter where Love has failed No matter the mistakes we've made If we Trust in God to guide the way Loves gifts will never fade. For when we find that Love from God We will know without a doubt This love was a Gift from Above And will show us what life’s about Wait on the Lord and pray each day To give us what is real For when true love fines its mate The truth will be revealed Comfort those who don’t understand Why love left and hurts so bad Wrap your loving arms around them And listen when they’re sad Give them Love they have never known Weather it be from a child or friend Show them Lord your way is good For with you True Love begins The question is What is Love? Why has it not found me Well my friend first turn to God For HIS love is all we need ... He will guide our path each day through life and hears our deepest plea He will show us where our true love waits when we meet Him on our knees......
