                      Lord, will you be my valentine this year?
                      For sweeter love no heart has ever known.
                      Oh holy One, I pray, now please draw near,
                      give life unto those seeds Your Word has sown.

                      'Twas in a garden man first lost it all,
                      as evil crept into the heart of Eve.
                      Yet, in a garden You reversed the fall,
                      You sweated blood in dark Gethsemane!

                      What passion drove You to endure 'til death?
                      Such sacrifice, Lord, for the likes of me?
                      No comfort as You drew Your final breath,
                      as Father turned from Son. . .  Love's mystery!

                      And with the righteousness of Your own blood
                      You purchased life for sinners' victory!
                      Now resurrected,  "Rose of Sharon's Bud". . .
                      ascended to the Father. . . “King of Kings”!

                      Oh Lord, you are a perfect valentine!
                      Your love is all the love I'll ever need.
                      I want to tell the world that You are mine,
                      in every word and thought and every deed.
