Love
by Barbara Philbrook

Love takes over once Jesus resides in your heart,
invite Him in now so your loving ways can start.

Without God there can be no love,
nor can you spend eternity in heaven above.

Love looks with the heart, not with the eyes,
and never seeing anything to anger or despise.

Love hears with the heart and not with ears,
never listening to anything that will cause tears.

Love speaks with the heart not with the tongue,
that too is how the most beautiful songs are sung.

Love reacts with the heart and not with the head,
that's how to avoid situations you'll later dread.

Love is why Jesus willingly died on the cross,
please don't allow your salvation to be lost.

Only you can accept what is being offered to you,
accept it now then you'll be living a life filled with love too.
