What is Love?

I could serve with my hands the most neediest man
But if I don't love him even if my hands can't
What is love?

I could share all I own with one who owns none
But even if I did,
If I didn't love them deep inside
What is love?

I could go on a date, and show him all interest in the world,
But if I didn't love most who he really is inside, his heart would shatter and our worlds would not unify but would clash and collide.
Then what is love?

If I didn't love the real man inside, a part from everything else
taking him as he is,and turn the scene around
where he cares most about who I am underneath all this and loves me for me
Then what is love?

Man longs to be loved, where he is loved through and through
Where his struggles are overlooked and the pain of his scars, flaws that marrs his heart,never defines him.
Where is that kind of love, tell me where can it be?

Man longs to be held in the safest arms and man longs to run where his heart can roam free.
Show me the place where this love is found? Where can this kind be?
This all makes me wonder if my heart knows what real love means.
Lord, please help me to know it.
Because I want to know what love is,
I want you to show me. I want to feel what love is.
Lord I need you to show me.

Risk

How long do you sit on a fence?
How long do you wrestle with this? How long?
Are you settling for less than the best?
Life's too short, take a risk.

How long do you wait? ever feel like you're waiting around?
How long do you wait to make a move, a sign, a sound,
how long? tell me how long?
Life's too short not to risk.

Have you not heard the song
Gather rosebuds while you can
Life moves on, because the window of time is not as long
Make the most of time, be a wise man
Life's too short take the risk

Any words worth saying, say them now.
Any hugs worth giving, give them now.
Any, love worth sharing, tell her now.
Any hurts need forgiving, forgive now.
Any hearts need healing,heal them now.
A song worth singing, sing it now.

Any, risk worth taking, take it now.
Any one wanting wisdom, wise up now.
Oh life is too short, take the risk
