Let Love Be...

 

Happy One of 365 Days in a year to celebrate love!

Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,

  36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God 

with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

  38This is the first and great commandment. 

39And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

  40On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

The Love of God-Mercy Me

Let love be our compass, it’s steering is true 

Let love be the drive in all we say and do 

Let love be our Master; then we will endure 

Let love be the servant of Duty so pure 

Let love be a flower that blooms all year long 

Let love be the author of our heart’s song 

Let love be our anchor, in duels of desire 

Let love be the tinder that fuels its fire 

Let love be the wish that turns into command 

Let love be the force that no foe can withstand 

Let love be the Beauty time cannot annul 

Let love be the joy that keeps our hope-full 

Let love be God’s whisper that He will provide 

Lot love be our Mainstay, whatever betide 

Let love be the answer to every why 

Let love be a wellspring that never runs dry 

Let love be the Greatest Command we revere

Let love be devotion's ocean of glad cheer

Let love's first-hand grace, scarred with Hard Agony

Help us find our third place with humility

Let love be the wonder that wakens the soul 

Let love be our comfort when doubt’s dark waves roll 

Let love be the picker-upper when we fall 

Let love be our Greatest Achievement of all
