To keep making the choice to love
Is a scary one, it’s true
But when that fear takes over me
I will try to think of you
And the way you must have felt that day
They nailed you to the cross
And the terror you must have felt inside
For the life soon to be lost.
But through it all you still managed to show
The love you felt for men
By forgiving them all and showing your love
Until the very end.
This love you showed now gives me strength
To learn to love once more
Knowing my love is stronger now than it ever was before.
And if I fail at love again
That thought of you will arise
And pick me up and dust me off
For many other tries.
For loving like you love dear Lord
Is what our lives are for
For loving is belief in you,
The one I now adore.
