A Monday Morning Love Song/Prayer

 

Oh, keep us kind and humble, Lord; love has no in between

And keep the Prize we strive toward something man has not seen

My, but the mouth is skilled at soothing guilt with verbose art

Forgetful often, that you see the intent of the heart

Lord, give us love that does not seeks its own indulgent way

But stir in us surrender's goal to serve You every day

Give us the peace that passes understanding as we yield

Entrusting to Your perfect love those things not yet revealed

The spirit is a willing courtier, it boasts great plan

The flesh is weak; its choice the voice that exposes the man

Do not be wise in your own eyes; the ancient proverb warns

But fear the Lord, (the One who wore not roses, but the thorns)

Love is patient and kind and does not seek its own delight

It does not count the cost but makes its boast Your grace and might

Lord, until faith is sight make us a vessel in Your hands

Fulfill through us the Love that folly oft misunderstands

Anoint each breath we take with faith's earnest humility
Lord, with each step make us aware of that last Destiny
How Moment is the module that transports Undying Soul
Toward the place where Perfect Love unveils the holy Whole

The True-love Challenge;

 Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
 it is not proud.
It is not rude,  
it is not self-seeking,
  it is not easily angered, 
 it keeps no account of wrongs. 
Love takes no pleasure in evil,
but rejoices in the truth.…
1 Cor.13:4-6
