Love in Action
What more can I do?
How can I say this without using the words "I Love You"?
Husbands love your wives,
Just as Christ loves the church.
Did he go around "telling" her all the time that he does?
What did he "do"?
A servant-leader he was;
"Daily" he served her.
Tho as yet she did not know how much,
How much he loved her,
The little big things he did for her told the truth.
Will i be willing to lay down my life?
Just as Christ.
The ultimate sacrifice.
For no greater love has a man than this!
What more can I do?
To prove that I do love you.
Follow Christ,
Love in action.
