"My Soul's Secret Lover"

I have a deep dear secret, I know others won't understand.
That my soul's not in Love, with any woman or mortal man.

I've always kept this secret, never wanting others to see.
That my first Love is to Jesus, who first created me.

My first and secret Love, the joy to see His face.
All my other Loves, just have to take second place.

Many will say that my focus, should be on spouse and the kids.
But my soul is secretly focused, on my Lover for what He did.

Showered me with His Love, overcoming me like a flood.
Then He topped it off, by covering me in His blood.

You just have to tell your wives, or hope your husbands understand.
There's a secret spot in your heart, can't be filled by woman or man.

And although I Love the children, and all the grandchildren too.
My first Love is to Jesus, who made my soul anew.

We can all mingle together, find comfort in each other.
But it just can't closely compare, when I'm alone but with my Lover.

You see it's a personal secret, I've traveled a wonderful trip.
I've come to know my Jesus, we developed a relationship.

I know I'll always Love Him, a sacred eternal bond.
A deep and perfect Love, lasting eternal and yet beyond.

And although I Love my family, and everyone dear to my heart.
My passion is for Jesus; who gave me a brand new start.

It's really a deep spiritual thing, that many will never understand.
Its roots are deeply seated, when creation first began.

If you feel the same as I do, then I know you'll understand.
That my secret Love for Jesus, is part of His Holy plan.

So now you know my secret, it's open for all to see.
That my first Love is to Jesus, who first created me.

-- Matthew 22:36-40
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
37 Jesus replied: "’Love the Lord your God with all your heart
     and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ (Deut. 6:5)
38 This is the first and Greatest Commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
     (Lev. 19:18)
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these
     two Commandments."

-- John 3:16-17
16 For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten
     Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but
     have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn
     the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

-- 1 John 4:7-19
7 Beloved, let us Love one another, for Love is of God;
   and everyone who Loves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not Love does not know God, for God is Love.
9 In this the Love of God was manifested toward us,
   that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,
   that we might live through Him.
10 In this is Love, not that we Loved God, but that He Loved us
     and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so Loved us,
     we also ought to Love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we Love one another,
     God lives in us, and His Love has been perfected in us.
13 By this 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
     the Son as Savior of the world.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God,
     God lives in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the Love that God has
     for us. God is Love, and he who lives in Love lives in God,
     and God in him.
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may
     have confidence in the day of judgment; because in this
     world we are like Him.
18 There is no fear in Love. But perfect Love casts out fear,
     because fear involves torment. But the one who fears has
     not been made perfect in Love.
19 We Love Him because He first Loved us.

-- 1 John 5:2-3
2 This is how we know that we Love the children of God:
   by Loving God and carrying out His commands.
3 This is Love for God: to obey His commands.
   And His commands are not burdensome,

-- John 14:15-17
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.

-- 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.

-- Matthew 10:37
He who Loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who Loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

-- Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels
     nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
     will be able to separate us from the Love of God that is
     in Christ Jesus our Lord.

-- 2 Corinthians 13:14
   May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God,
   and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

-- Psalms 52:8-9
8 But I am like a green olive tree flourishing in the house of God;
   I trust in God’s unfailing Love for ever and ever.
9 I will praise You forever for what You have done;
   In Your name I will hope, for Your name is good.
   I will praise You in the presence of Your saints.

-- Psalms 66:18-20
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
     the Lord would not have listened;
19 But God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or
     withheld His Love from me!

-- Psalms 69:13
   But I pray to You, O LORD,
   in the time of Your favor; in Your great Love,
   O God, Answer me with Your sure salvation.

-- Psalms 33:20-22
20 We wait in hope for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.
22 May Your unfailing Love rest upon us, O LORD,
     even as we put our hope in You.

-- Psalms 100:5
   For the LORD is good and His Love endures forever;
   His faithfulness continues through all generations.

-- Psalms 23:6
   Surely Goodness and Love will follow me all the days of my life,
   And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
