What Love

What Love What love, what love, what love, Flowing gracefully down from above Like sunlit glistening crashing waves His radiant powerful sea behaves Swiftly beckoning the morning dove Oh the majestic soothing splendor of His love so rich, so tender Our God is strong, a brilliant light Warmly, loving, granting sight Charming our hearts in soft candor Over and over, the Lion displays His power and strength¸ His masterful ways Wistfully, wonderfully bringing us joy He builds in us His will to employ In service to others all our days Filling our souls in blissful rapture Enjoying this rush our hearts do capture The fruit of the Spirit, He loves to bring It inspires our worship as we sing His Words of love in holy scripture written 6/4/2023 © 2023 by John Stasukevich

I sat down to the piano to play your poetic song that John Watt composed for you, and it is so beautiful, John! Your words are truly lovely and lyrical! You have done so well in such a short period of time! Keep that poetic pen moving! :)

John, I love your phrasing that gives voice to the deep love God showers us with ("Like sunlit glistening crashing waves", "Charming our hearts in soft candor"), and the response we have for that great love ("Filling our souls in blissful rapture", "It inspires our worship as we sing"). Also enjoy seeing the AABBA rhyme scheme. I was very moved by this worshipful poem, thank you for sharing it! Your poetry brother ~ John
