Understanding Love

Understanding Love

King of all Kings, I left my scepter there,
entered your world a child amid despair.
I joined you and stood by you as a man,
what part of love do you not understand?

I joined your marriage celebration fest
and made you wine from water at it's best,
blessing the union of woman and man,
what part of love do you not understand?

I reached out to the sick and made them whole,
day after day this healing took it's toll.
I spent for you my strength, that was my plan,
what part of love do you not understand?

At our last supper I gave all I could,
body and blood left on that altar wood,
as bread and wine, a holy meal for man,
what part of love do you not understand?

Judge me and call me liar if you must,
in God who is my father I will trust,
I came here as ransom for all of man,
what part of love do you not understand?

I died for you so true love could survive.
I died for you to keep your souls alive.
That life, union of woman and a man,
what part of love do you not understand?

(Pray for Life!)
