Lord, please teach me to love like You do
Lord, please teach me to love like You do,
To love like Jesus so steadfast and true,
Help me to see others, through Your eyes of love,
Uniquely designed, and delighted in above.
Cleanse me with hyssop and I shall be clean,
My heart needs Your cleansing to love purely again,
To be childlike and joyful, rejoicing in the other,
Cherishing, each precious moment together.
They say love is not love, until you give it away,
But, sometimes I hold back, because I am afraid,
My Father, You give immeasurably more,
There is no end to the love that You have in store.
As deep as the ocean, as high as the heavens,
Your ineffable love just cannot be measured,
Expand my heart so that I can love more,
Fill me to overflowing like never before.

I love to love like Jesus, I always ask Him to help me to be more like Him and less like me.
