True Love Prevails

A simple poem for the Heart

461
True Love Prevails

Wouldn't it be nice

If more Love existed

That hate would decease

And the world be less twisted


I long for that day

That day that will surely come

When we discover a land of peace

Where we all rejoice as one


One family of trust

A bond of no judgment

Oh wouldn't that be nice...

Can you even imagine it?


I know I can.

In fact, there is such a place

Where Love is full of truth

Where Love is full of grace


If home is where the heart is

Then where do you reside?

Is Love at the center?

Does it make you come alive?


I don't know about you,

But it's hard to find it here

This world is so dark

Filled with so many tears


So where is our home?

Shall I dare we fix our gaze

Beyond the clouds of glory

And into the gates of praise


Where there is no suffering

Where there is no pain

Where we can be free

And have nothing to gain


My heart longs for this

This home of peace and Love

It's grown weary of the world

Can it only rest up above?


The time has come

For our hearts to grow

To reach out to the lonely

And to let everyone know


That they are deeply Loved

By their very own Creator

For He Loves us so much

That He gave us a Savior


Do you want to know the secret?

True Love did survive

It came through a death

A death brought back to life


Love came into the world

But we did not understand

So we rejected true Love

We thought he was only a man


But although he was beaten

Although he was bruised

He carried that rugged cross

To carry on the good news


The good news is this

True Love is alive

And his arms are open

Yes, they are open wide


True Love is a man

And this he will always be

So won't you let him in?

Will you let him set you free?


Oh won't you run to him?

He longs for your embrace.

If you are looking for Love,

Just look upon his face.


You see, Heaven is my home

But have you ever thought

That it's where we all belong

The price is already bought


As I have walked this path

This path of everlasting life

Something I have discovered

Is that His Love excludes all strife


Heaven may be above,

But we carry it within

If we confess that He is Lord

And lay down every sin


So take a leap of faith

Before life passes you by

Or it will slip away from you

In just the blink of an eye


I may be walking blind,

But I'm convinced that I can see

His presence is so thick

His warmth is wrapped all around me


Some say he is invisible

But, friend, this is not true

In fact, he is everywhere

He is all around you


So why not call him Friend?

And why not call Him Father?

Why not call him Darling?

Why should you even bother?


For only then will Love prevail

You see, He is the only way.

So take a hold of Jesus,

And he will take your breath away.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
