Agape

Agape cannot be of me…
By nature it is pure;
A perfect love
Of nature divine…
If at all of me,
Agape…it would not be.

 

Agape needs to fill me
As You invade my heart,
As You fill and abide,
As You complete,
As You do renewing work.

 

Agape speaks of life…
Renewal within me;
Agape speaks of death through You,
And Your atoning death for me.

Selflessness in You complete,
May it live within
As I die to me.

May it be my goal,
Though short I fall,
For I know it is Your work in me;
It is the work I long to see…
It is the work I pray others
Would see in me.
