Love Like You

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (John 13:34, NKJV

A new commandment...     You gave to us. To love like You. Love one another...     love as brothers. In so doing...     we love like You. In the garden...we laid...     while You knelt and prayed. Can I love like You? A little while later...You wept,     while we...still slept. Will I ever...     love like You? On the road lay a man...     beaten and robbed. Some saw him there...     but just didn't care. Shaking their heads...     forgetting what was said. Love your neighbor as yourself. That’s loving, like You! On the way to Golgotha...     some would laugh,     while others jeered. Some would cry,     and others would cheer. They couldn’t receive... A love like You. You hung on that cross...     for the hopelessly lost. It was love in You! You gave up the ghost...     witnessed by the heavenly host. Declaring, the love in You. You rose from the grave...     so the lost could be saved. That’s the love of You! Filled with Your Spirit...     I’ll let others hear it. I’ll love like You!                                 Poem written by MTJ

You Came

"For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me."(John 17:8, NIV)

Lost and alone. No home of my own. But You came. Sinking, in a sea of sin, No one there, to pull me in. But You came. Trouble circled all around me. How, could I ever get free? Until You came? You came Lord, for me. On the wings of a dove. Setting me free, By the power of God’s love. What can I do? In this world without you? Lord, You came! Where could I go? What would I know? Til You came! I cannot hide, This truth inside. That You came! You came Lord, for me. On the wings of a dove. Setting me free, By the power of God’s love. Poem written by MTJ
