Love Given

Given unconditionally and is never dependent on the recipient
regardless of who we are, whether respectable or indecent
Given freely, fervently, & fully for it cannot be earned or bought
for our striving, good deeds, and lack thereof counts for naught
Given purely, purposefully, and powerfully without disguise
to a people battered, broken, and bruised by compromise
Given joyfully, zealously, and perfectly that it dispels all fear
making cowards like me desperate and hungry to draw near
Given sincerely and sacrificially even to death on a cross
and now for Your sake we do count everything as loss
Given generously, full of kindness, hope, belief, and patience
always steadfast, faithful and true, a sweet & eternal fragrance
Given abundantly from its source whose love conquers all
 so in His love we can with confident assurance stand tall
