Analysis of God is Love
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The only thing that matters is faith expressing itself in love!
Love for you Lord and love for your brothers,
Love for your sons and love for their mothers!
Love is all that we must cherish,
Without your love we all would perish!
A love like yours is beyond all our dreams;
It sets us apart and forgets all our schemes!
Your love keeps no record of the wrongs that we do,
Your love remembers only how much we love you!
