What Love Is

[Christsfreeservant]

Love is not dependent on my feelings,
Not contingent on what is appealing.
It matters not if I feel good today.
It matters not, about me, what they say.

If I am treated badly, I still love,
‘Cause love comes from my Savior up above.
I follow His example, what He did
When others hated Him and from Him hid.

Do not run away ‘cause how I’m treated,
Even if the treatment gets repeated.
Love as Jesus loved be what we’re teaching,
Put in practice now what we are preaching.

Now do for others what is for their good,
And even if us they misunderstood,
And pray for them for what is for their best,
And find a way that to them you can bless.

But love, it speaks the truth, and not the lies,
And love, the truth it surely not denies.
Love extends beyond what lies on surface,
Does for others what is for their service.

Love thinks about the future, what’s in store
For those who faith in God they do abhor,
In practice, how they do relate to Him
Who died for them to take away their sin.

Love for God, it is not just lip service.
Love God, His commands we give observance.
If God we love we leave our sins behind,
So we can live the life that He designed.

Share the love of Jesus now with others,
With those who are your sisters and your brothers,
With neighbors, friends, and enemies alike,
And share with them of Jesus’ death and life.
