Love Still Is

Love Still Is

I hope to write a song of hope

With truth to cajole broken heart

For you till the tears depart .

A song to soothe your eyes

Wash your tears with unfeigned wine

So you can construe

A stitch in time saves nine.

Nothing is lost my brothers and sisters

You've got all you need to break on through

To the other side of sorrow

Where deliverance is due.

With arms open wide

He will never hide

Is it Him you need the most?

Then believe nothing is lost.

Believe that love still is

May not be in someone's eyes

But love still is.

Is your heart broken?

Are your dreams stolen?

Have you been forsaken

By someone you loved?

Then repress the past and cherish the present

And rejoice in the future

Because love still is.

The love that calms the darkest storms

And then the sun shines again.

When you behold a hurting soul

Causes you to feel the pain.

The love that urges you to give

When you are wronged you must forgive.

The love that makes your heart bigger

When you stretch your hands to help the poor.

May not be in someone's eyes

But love still is.

When you see someone hurt like you

Helping them is all you want to do.

I was hurt hence I tell you

There is so much more to hold on to.

You may not find it where you are searching for

The one you love may not adore

But I want to say that love still is.

The love in nature don't you to see?

The Divinity that made Beauty.

That love is in music don't you see?

A melodious note breaking you free.

The love that lies in the needy eyes

Of the child who'll bless you for a bowl of rice.

That love is in me as I pen these lines

As I seek to explore the golden mines

Which are lost inside you.

I will help you find if you let me to.

That love is in you when you will share

To a suffering soul what this song declares.

May not be in someone's eyes

But love still is.

That love is in you, that love is in me

The love by the Lover we cannot see.

The Lover who made you and me

The Lover who can make the mountains bleed

For you

Just pray and ask and you'll hear Him sing

Oh how He loves you more than anything.

You are the one whom He has endeared

But you didn't look toward Him and feared

You cried in pain which you shouldn't have felt

A catastrophe that makes His heart melt.

Oh how He loves you so much!

He longs for your love, your faithful touch.

In His heart is hope:

One day you will open your eyes

See His pure, His perfect love.

And return to where you belong

In His bosom heaven above.

He told me to write this song of hope

Rescue you from the addiction of dope.

He told me to tell you that love still is

May not be in the eyes of the one you love

But love still is.

So open your eyes please brothers and sisters

Open your eyes and see.

God has made you so much more

Than you thought you could be.

Your heart may be broken

Your dreams may be stolen

You might have been forsaken

By someone you loved.

Repress the past to cherish the present

And rejoice in the future

Because love still is.

There is so much more to live for

There is so much more to hold on.

There is so much left to exult again

And go on.

So smile and live your life again

For the great love that still is.

That love is His for you and me.

And

LOVE IS ETERNAL

Will forever be.
