"The Love He Has For You"

This poem's about His Love,
a Love that's Holy true.
As Father to His Son,
the Love He has for you.

A Love that's so creative,
a Love you're made into.
Made into His image,
the Love He has for you.

To Love you like Himself,
to cherish Bless and woo.
As part of His own body,
the Love He has for you.

A deep and perfect Love,
reserved for just a few.
Reserved for His dear family,
the Love He has for you.

A Love that never dies,
a Love He won't undo.
A lasting Holy Love,
the Love He has for you.

A Love to show He cares,
a Love to grow into.
A Love to be beside you,
the Love He has for you.

A Love you cannot earn,
no matter what you do.
A Love that's freely given,
the Love He has for you.

A Love that's so compelling,
to do the things He do.
A Love that's deeply moving,
the Love He has for you.

The Love He has for you,
a Love to Him as pleasure.
A Love to Him as joy,
a Love to Him as treasure.

The Love He has for you,
a Love with all His might.
A strong and power Love,
a Love that's glowing bright.

The Love He has for you,
a Love I can't described.
A marvel and a wonder,
a Love that's glorified.

The Love He has for you,
share with you His wealth.
Share with you His Kingdom,
share till nothing's left.

The Love He has for you,
a Love He can't confine.
A Love with open heart,
a Love that is divine.

A Love that's always fresh,
a Love that's always new.
A Love that's always flowing,
the Love He has for you.

A Love you didn't know,
a Love you never knew.
A Love to be revealed,
the Love He has for you.

A Love no one can measure,
dimensions without clue.
No boundary or a wall,
the Love He has for you.

A Love to keep Him close,
to stick to you like glue.
A Love to give His all,
the Love He has for you.

A Love that's always willing,
alert without miscue.
A Love that's eager ready,
the Love He has for you.

Help you while on Earth,
cheer you when you're blue.
Love with tender mercy,
the Love He has for you.

He even came Himself,
your spirit to renew.
Died for all your sins,
the Love He has for you.

Sent His Holy Spirit,
teach you what to do.
Love you every step,
the Love He has for you.

Sent His mighty angels,
help you make it through.
Love to show concern,
the Love He has for you.

Sent His Holy poems,
let you read and view.
Gift to show His Love,
the Love He has for you.

So now you know His Love,
a Love that's ready due.
A Love to cherish now,
the Love He has for you.

So now you know His Love,
a Love you must pursue.
Pursue throughout eternity,
the Love He has for you.

So now you know His Love,
a Love to crown you too.
A Love to rule beside Him,
the Love He has for you.

So now you know His Love,
a Love that grew and grew.
A Love forever growing,
the Love He has for YOU!

-- 1 John 4:7-19
7 Dear friends, let us Love one another, for Love comes from God. 
   Everyone who Loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 Whoever does not Love does not know God, because God is Love.
9 This is how God showed His Love among us: He sent His One and 
   only Son into the world that we might live through Him.
10 This is Love: not that we Loved God, but that He Loved us and 
     sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Dear friends, since God so Loved us, 
     we also ought to Love one another.
12 No one has ever seen God; but if we Love one another, 
     God lives in us and His Love is made complete in us.
13 We know that we live in Him and He in us, 
     because He has given us of His Spirit.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent 
     His Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, 
     God lives in him and he in God.
16 And so we know and rely on the Love God has for us. 
     God is Love. Whoever lives in Love lives in God, and God in Him.
17 In this way, Love is made complete among us so that we will have 
     confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him.
18 There is no fear in Love. But perfect Love drives out fear, 
      because fear has to do with punishment. 
     The one who fears is not made perfect in Love.
19 We Love because He first Loved us.

-- Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, Joy, Peace, Patience, 
     Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, 
23 Gentleness and Self-control. 
     Against such things there is no law.

-- 2 Timothy 1:7-8
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, 
   but of power, Love, and self-discipline.
8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me 
   His prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the Gospel, 
   by the power of God.

-- John 14:15-21
15 If you Love Me, you will obey what I command.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor 
     to be with you forever --
17 the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither 
     sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you 
     and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 Before long, the world will not see Me anymore, but you will see Me. 
     Because I live, you also will live.
20 On that day you will realize that I am in My Father, 
     and you are in Me, and I am in you.
21 Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who 
     Loves Me. He who Loves Me will be Loved by My Father, 
     and I too will Love him and show Myself to him."

-- 1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not Love, 
   I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and 
   all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, 
   but have not Love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, 
   but have not Love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is Patient, Love is Kind. Love does Not Envy, 
   Love does Not Boast, Love is Not Proud.
5 Love is Not Rude, Love is Not Self-Seeking, 
   Love is Not Easily Angered, Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs.
6 Love does Not Delight in Evil but Rejoices with the Truth.
7 Love always Protects, always Trusts, always Hopes, always Perseveres.
8 Love Never Fails. 
   But where there are prophecies, they will cease; 
   Where there are tongues, they will be stilled; 
   Where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9 Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little!
10 But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear.
11 It’s like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned 
     as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will 
     see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and
     incomplete, but then I will know everything completely,
     just as God knows me now.

13 And now these three remain: 
     Faith, Hope and Love. But the Greatest of these is Love.

-- Psalms 119:97, 159, 165-168
97 Oh, how I Love Your law! I meditate on it all day long.
159 See how I Love Your precepts; preserve my life, 
       O LORD, according to Your Love.
165 Great peace have they who Love Your Law, 
       And nothing can make them stumble.
166 I wait for Your salvation, O LORD, and I follow Your commands.
167 I obey Your statutes, for I Love them greatly.
168 I obey Your precepts and Your statutes, 
       For all my ways are known to You.
