Teach me to Love
MorningMeds / Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
Teach me to love deeply
Beyond the surface of what I see
Teach me to love enthusiastically
Emphasizing all the freedom that true love brings.
Teach me to love unconditionally
When rejection is all I see
Teach me to love purely
Allowing you to meet all my needs
Teach me to love willfully
by softening my heart while bending my knees
Teach me to love obediently
Even those I would call my enemies
Teach me to love sacrificially
When only your eyes will see
Teach me to love generously
Out of the abundance that flows from thee
Teach me to love wisely
When temptation would bring me to my knees
Teach me to love righteously
Because not all love flows from thee
Teach me to recognize love
When it’s not what I expected to see
Far too often I have seen love
And fought him as my enemy
Teach me to love
by captivating and refining my taste.
Sin no longer can hold or seduce me
when my heart is satisfied in your embrace
Teach me to love others
by helping me abide in you
Allowing your love to move me
as I bind my heart to follow you.
