A Song....A Prayer

 
These are the lyrics of a song I first heard a couple of weeks ago.  God is using it to speak to me.  I feel like each time I hear it or I read the words, I get something else.  I pray it speaks to you as well.  I pray that Jesus touches each of you in a special way, that His Words come alive for you.  I pray they would not just be words that seem pretty or inspirational but that He would put in you a desire to love His way.  <><
 
I pray this for each of you as I pray it for me.  I am not able to love in this way yet.  Not all the time.  Perhaps I will never quite be there but I pray earnestly, desperately that The Lord will change my heart and get me one step closer to having His heart each day.
 
"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."  - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 
 
"Love will Never Fail" 
   written by Devon Graves 
   sung by Mosaic
 
"I wanna love without saying a word,
 without wearing a mask,
 without building a wall.
 
 Shouting does not guarantee you are heard
 the words burn in the atmosphere as they fall.
 
 True love has no defense
 it can not stand at an arm's length or sit on the fence
it wades into the fray to take a bullet in the place of the one that is holding the gun.
 
Love is patient
it holds on tight when the train derails
 
Love hopes all things, bears all things, believes all things
Love never fails.
 
I wanna love without guarding myself
without strapping on armor or wielding a sword
to lay down defenseless, believing the best
not keeping track of who's winning, who's lost or who's scored.
 
True love is kind
it does not tally when it has been wronged or maligned
It knows it's closest friends will betray and it stands by them faithfully anyway.
 
Love is Patient
it holds on tight when the train derails
Love hopes all things, bears all things, believes all things
Love never fails.
 
Love endures
it stands firm in the rain, the wind and the hail
Love will never give up; love will never fail.
 
Faith, hope and love will abide
Faith, hope and love will abide
prophesy will pass away
Language and knowledge will pass away
but faith, hope and love will abide.
 
I wanna love without saying a syllable
trusting my actions to speak on my part
behavior is louder than that which is audible
revealing most clearly the state of the heart.
