The Greatest Love of All
I’d been in love before, but this time wasn’t the same
When Michael passed, I had resigned from playing the game
He was my soulmate, I couldn’t admit he was gone
Simultaneously, I was busy but withdrawn
Until the day I met “Him” and everything seemed right
Even with my defenses up, my heart couldn't fight
We were a match made in heaven, we fit perfectly
I wondered if it'd effect Michael indirectly
‘Cause he'd want me to be happy, no doubt in my mind
And, my new love was funny, intelligent and kind
Soon, we were holding hands and taking walks at the beach
And, He learned when I did wrong, I didn't want a speech
He knows His place; sometimes He leads, sometimes He stands back
Patient and forgiving, He has what other men lack
He's with me when people are cruel and insults are hurled
So often I feel like it's just us against the world
I remember the day when I gave up, in disgust
All my secrets, I had decided to just trust
I told of my transgressions, expecting Him to leave
But, His response was something very few can conceive
He told me He loves me and described a diff’rent day
When He was crucified and took all my sins away
He gave up His life for me when He got the call
And, the Bible says that is the greatest love of all
