Whom Do You Truly Love - 1 John 2: 15-17
Whom do you truly love?
look into your heart to see
what our affections truly are
what seeds growing on our tree
The Lord God himself is our desire
well this statement should be true
if He’s more important than anything
for in His eyes nothing else will do
For to love this world is folly
as it can never satisfy you
only God in His son Jesus Christ
can satisfy and make you His anew
Scripture clearly declares to all
don’t love the world nor it’s standard
it will only fill you with it’s dross
leaving you with no lifeguard
Jesus said narrow is the way to life
those that find it will be few
so be sure you love God truthfully
proving that love to all who view
God’s love is shown to be in us
only when the world is clearly outside
then Jesus will be our all in all
trusting Him always to be our guide
('Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.')
