LOVE

Without love
Life is mere existence,
Totally in thrall,
A meaningless existence,
Heading for
The funeral pall.
 
If you need
An end to pain,
Call on His name,
 
And if You seek
To end your plight,
Then face the Light,
 
And if you want
Power from above,
Receive the Dove,
 
And if you need
To end your loss,
Kneel at the Cross,
 
And if you want
To kill your pride,
Then touch His side,
 
And if you wish
To know His grace,
Then seek His face,
 
And if you're tired
Of insurrection,
Choose resurrection,
 
Without love
We linger at a distance,
Totally in thrall
To our proud insistence
To self on the throne;
We dwell quite alone.
