Many things in this world come upon us, causing fright
Inside our hearts, as in our beds we sleep at night.
One day, the Lord will come back and fright shall be gone.
For, with our Living Savior, love lingers on.
He will ever stand beside us. He will be our constant guide.
And, when His wrath is set upon the enemy, there will be no pride.
But, love one another is what our heart tells us to do. Be pure,
For life is short and anger is long, but love will endure.
Love endures all things. It is without fault. Love is pure.
Dread, trespasses and enemies, be ye guarded and demur.
Hold steadfast to goodness. Be ye long-suffering and meek.
And, always in your heart, let it be love and goodness ye seek.
Sin is weighty and causes pain that brings us to naught,
As though in a waging battle when a raging war is fought.
But then, goodness brings silver linings, illnesses a cure.
Though, one thing we can be sure of, love will ever endure.
Love is without malice, its everlasting and true.
It's all we want to live for, in all the things we do.
So, let us be faithful to our Savior and Maker. Let us be pure
Because, in the heart of Jesus, His love for us will ever endure.
