Proverbs 17:17a A friend loves at all times<br /> 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful

Unimaginable, unbelievable, unexplainable love.

Unforgettable, indescribable, love for me.

You ignited a spark in me, because of you, now I can see.

The embers are burning the sparks are spreading,

And your love... is the reason I sing.

 

The things that I still do, the things that I've done,

The things that I will do, yet you love me.

What words can describe this intensity of passion?

All my flaws and imperfections you have cast aside,

Because you love me... no matter what.

The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this piece because I have seen God's love for me, and I needed to sing. It is an unbelievable blessing, and I can never deserve it.
