FALLING IN LOVE

There comes a time
When suddenly
You realize
You are fearfully
And wonderfully made
And all of the lies
You’ve ever believed
Will fly right out the door

You realize
How very beautiful
You truly are
Beautiful in God’s eyes
No matter
What the world
Or the media
Or even yourself say

And then compassion
Sweet compassion
Embraces all you are
And a gentle touch
Flows inwardly

But you can only love yourself
Unconditionally
When the Father’s love
Is believed, received
Reflected upon your heart
In your eyes
Your mind
Indwelling
Then you can go forth sweet child
And love others as yourself

Matthew 22
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

LOVE IS YOUR REWARD (Song Lyrics)

Chorus
Acknowledge, know and praise Him
Trust, believe, love, give and serve
Search deep, and love for love’s sake
Knowing love is your reward
Love is your reward

When the cross lifts you
In Christ all things are possible
When the cross lifts you
All things become so wonderful

Let the cross lift you
Doesn’t matter your first vision
The cross of Jesus
Grows more beautiful each season

Through tears of trial
Life may seem so wounded, and blurred
No heart denial
Is strong enough to be unheard

Lift your weary arms
Reach up, embrace Him, and the cross
Feel sweet healing balms
Exchange life for every sad loss

And love will flow down
Love’s eyes will meet, and meld with yours
All pain, sorrow drown
Two hearts loved, bound for heaven’s shores

Chorus
Acknowledge, know and praise Him
Trust, believe, love, give and serve
Search deep, and love for love’s sake
Knowing love is your reward
Love is your reward

LET LOVE LOVE YOU (Song Lyrics)

What to do with a heart that’s been broken
What to do when no love has been spoken
Tell yourself, it’s okay, yes, it’s okay
Doesn’t matter what they do or don’t say
’Cause I love me, and I know I am loved
I’m loved by my Father and He is love

He is love, He is love, and none can match
His beauty, His love, and no-one, nothing
Can tear us apart, I’m sewn right into
The depths of His heart, the depths of His heart
I won’t listen to negativity
I’ll go out with joy, peace will lead me forth

Whenever the doubts, the pains they threaten
I’ll squeeze His hand tighter, woes will lessen
I’ll know and feel His everlasting love
Embrace, guide me, encourage and love me
I’ll hear Him whisper, keep loving yourself
With the love I’ve given you, and My love
Will flow sweetly from you unto others

Yes, My love will heal wherever it goes
I’ll send it to hearts that the world ignores
I’ll flood lives with hope and chase out despair
I’ll dry falling tears and fill with laughter
I’ll strengthen the weak, implant My peace; but
You must be willing in loving yourself
To know your heart’s healed … Let the healing flow

Let Love love you
