True Love

William Adkins 1971 (Harlan, ky.)

True love is the desire to please the one you love. Through all of the heartaches and through all of the pain. Even when you think there's nothing else to gain.
Do you know what true love is?
True love to sacrifice our lives like Jesus did. Even when the world did not believe in him. When they crucified him, he cried out, father forgive.
Do you know what true love is?
True love is to lay down our lives and live for him. Even if we doubt. Even if we fear this world.  Jesus is always faithful to forgive.
Do you know what true love is?
Do you know that Jesus Christ is Love?
