It's not the fact that you say I love you,
but that the way you live shows it to be true.

It's not the fact that you give me a gift,
but that you care enough my spirits to lift.

It's not the fact that you compliment me,
but the enjoyment on your face that I see.

It's not the fact that when we meet we embrace,
but the love I feel as it's taking place.

It's not the fact that you say thank you to me,
but that you received it appreciatively.

It's not the fact that you go to Church,
but that you go to God when life begins to lurch.

It's not the fact that Jesus hung on a cross,
but that He did so to prevent our being lost.

It's not the fact that we'd burn for eternity,
but that our God loves us so much you see.

It's not the fact that I comprehend it all,
it's simply that I heard the Master's call.

It's not a  fact I'm any better than you,
it's simply I appreciate what Jesus went through.

It's not the fact that I fear Hell hot,
I don't want His suffering to have been for naught.

It is a fact that you too must choose,
so that what Jesus offers you will not loose.
