Love Is...

Love Is….

I see love in little moments in life, moments I’m lucky enough to grab hold of and recognize as the true beauty they are
Doesn’t matter if I’m right here or somewhere far

If love is patent, then I see love in the gentle care of a child
Not always in huge gestures or words spoken out loud

And if love is kind I see love in the kindness shown to a stranger
When you love others enough to put your own self in danger

If love doesn’t boast and it keeps no records of wrongs
Then love is more than a feeling or words sung in a song

Love is lived out, words in action in every day life
Moments of hope in the midst of the strife

Love is selfless and cares more for the other
Love is a hand reaching out to grasp the hand of a sister or brother

Love doesn’t seek to hurt or even the score
Love helps those in need, cares for the poor

Love reaches past where we are from
Which is hard to do for some

Love reaches past the color of our skin, or how we dress
It seeks to be fair, to treat others our best

Love doesn’t ask us to be someone we’re not
Love isn’t something that can be bartered or bought

Love can be seen in the eyes of a child
As they are comforted and gently held

And love can be seen in a moment of people reaching out
Caring more for the other than they do for themselves

Love is coming together for a common goal
It’s more precious than even the rarest of jewels

Love is beautiful and it asks us to risk everything
But in it’s purest it’s the greatest gift we’ve ever seen.

We love because God first loved us and showed us how it’s done
He loved so much He gave His one and only Son

To give His life so we might live
To offer us love, and to forgive

All our sins, all our pain
Love is real, it has a name


Jesus loves us this we know
Now we must take this love and go

Take it share it with the world around us everywhere
Let them know that God still loves them, that He still cares

And as we love as He has loved us we will see
That love is more beautiful than we could ever dream.

True love gives more than it takes
And we are blessed because God has given everything for each of our sakes

So may we step out in faith and walk what we believe
And not only will we give love, but we will also receive

More love than we will ever be able to know
More love than we will ever be able to show

So may each of us learn to live our love out loud every day
Because love is on the move, and it’s the only true way

To show a broken and hurting world that God is still alive and still cares
And that He wants to bring healing to our hurts and fears

Thank you Father for loving us first and showing the way
May we love you and mean it every day

And one day when we stand before you in glory
May love be the biggest and best part of our story.
