What Is This Thing Called Love

Love extended their arms to me,  

Suspended right before 'thee -

In the place I was destined to be,  

Exchanging my place at Calvary.  

Love that shook the ground beneath,  

Its power brought me to my knees.  

Love that illuminates the darkness,  

Provides compassion in varied times. 

Love that runs so deep and wide - 

No words can tame, no time erase.

A love that brings me true peace,  

Love so amazing - so divine.   

A love that cannot be measured,  

Neither weighed nor evaluated.  

Without asking, it showered on me,

Yesterday, today and days to come.
