God’s Love Flows

God’s Love flows.
Strong, like the wind
Touching us here on earth
Calling to all who have sinned.

God’s love flows
Like a warm gentle breeze
Caressing our souls
As it blows through the trees.

God’s love flows
Like the water in a brook
Bubbling with joy
Everywhere you take a look.

God’s love flows
Reaching into our hearts
It endures forever
And from us never parts.

Until next month, may God continue to bless you & the work of your hands!
