Poetry & Prose ~~ "What Kind of Love Is This?"

What kind of love is this

That while looking through eyes of love upon a fallen race,

God revealed salvation’s plan of restoration, forgiveness, and grace.

What kind of love is this

That the Lord of Heaven became flesh to dwell among all men,

That we may become one in Him and be called His friends.

What kind of love is this

That He could see the joy that lay beyond the cross,

And became the ultimate sacrifice, not counting the cost.

What kind of love is this

That with His nail pierced hands and His wounded side,

He wore a crown of thorns with His arms opened wide.

What kind of love is this

That says Father, forgive them, they know not what they do,

And freely gave up His life, for me and for you.

What kind of love is this

That conquered sin and death by shedding His precious blood,

Removing the sting of death by the power of His love.

What kind of love is this

That when the stone was rolled away, there was an empty grave,

Rising to new life in resurrection power, a living hope He gave.

What kind of love is this

That intercedes for us continually from His glorious heavenly throne,

Until the time comes to call us to our eternal home above.

What kind of love is this

That draws us into His presence, to come just as we are.

This is an unconditional love, the love of our Father’s heart.

“As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you, abide in My love”

John 15: 9
