I know a man, he once walked on water.
He showed me the way to the heart of the Father.
He taught me that love is much more in deeds than in words
That true love gives with no string attached. That love has no filter and love is quite honest
Love wants the absolute best for the other
Not because of what we can get but because we truly love em’
While we were yet sinners and had nothing to offer
He chose to die, ohhh how can we ever repay that?
When we didn’t ‘deserve’ it, and we couldn’t appreciate it
He died to prove love has no selfish ambition

That true love is not earned thus can ne’er be repaid
And the purpose of love is not to be appreciated
But how do you teach my generation that true love seeks nothing in return?
How do you teach my generation that we love not because of what we can get but because we know the love of the father?
Surely there must be a way to teach a generation who help with our eyes on the size of the pocket of those we help that true love has no selfish ambition.
That we don’t choose our friends on the basis of what we can get from them.
That we are not entitled to receive because we gave and that the basis of giving is not because we can receive.
That we love because we love, and not because we could be appreciated
That true love SEEKS nothing in return.
Since we have chosen not to learn from HIS example.
