What Love

What love,  what love, what love,
Flowing gracefully down from above
Like sunlit glistening crashing waves
His radiant powerful sea behaves
Swiftly beckoning the morning dove

Oh the majestic soothing splendor
of His love so rich, so tender
Our God is strong, a brilliant light
Warmly, loving, granting sight
Charming our hearts in soft candor

Over and over, the Lion displays
His power and strength¸ His masterful ways
Wistfully, wonderfully bringing us joy
He builds in us His will to employ
In service to others all our days

Filling our souls in blissful rapture
Enjoying this rush our hearts do capture
The fruit of the Spirit, He loves to bring
It inspires our worship as we sing
His Words of love in holy scripture

I sat down to the piano to play your poetic song that John Watt composed for you, and it is so beautiful, John! Your words are truly lovely and lyrical! You have done so well in such a short period of time! Keep that poetic pen moving! :)

John, I love your phrasing that gives voice to the deep love God showers us with ("Like sunlit glistening crashing waves", "Charming our hearts in soft candor"), and the response we have for that great love ("Filling our souls in blissful rapture", "It inspires our worship as we sing"). Also enjoy seeing the AABBA rhyme scheme. I was very moved by this worshipful poem, thank you for sharing it! Your poetry brother ~ John
