The Greatest Love Song Ever Written

Everywhere we turn we hear
Dedicated songs of love
But the greatest ever written
Comes from up above
The sweetest music and perfect beat
But it's lyrics you'll not always hear
It's often in sights and feelings
You'll be reminded He is near

A stranger's smile on a dark day
A hawk up soaring high
A call of a friend in need
A sunset that makes you sigh
A baby's laugh, a happy tear
Holding an elderly hand
Every blade of grass and raindrop fall
The sky, the sea, the land

A soft breeze on a summer's day
Freshly fallen snow
The scent of rain on a dusty road
Watching children grow
The music of a songbird
Putting her little ones to bed
The warm safe arms of one you love
The sun upon your head

It all speaks of love so pure
Unconditional in it's giving
Yet often we don't hear His song
So busy in our living
Imagine creating a love song
For the dear ones in your life
And never having it listened to
No one took the time

Take the time to hear His song
Feel the love the He sings
Revel in it's sincere beauty
and all the joy it brings
Close your eyes and hear the sounds
Open them and see the sights
Spread your arms and accept His tune
The world in a brighter light

If you listen openly to His song
You will never be alone
For it's played from the day He creates you
Until He comes to take you home
Of all the love songs ever done
Vowing eternal love
The one you can always count on
Comes from up above
