DARE TO LOVE

Dare to love to give your heart
Prepared to have it ripped apart
Some mother’s eyes fill with tears
Unconditional love through the years

For her children, but rejected now
To repay her care they know not how
Cheating partners, man or wife
Bringing heartache and such strife

Or love and heart set upon a pet
But once gone brings more regret
Someone to love, a life to share
Only now is misery and the empty chair

Dare to love, if we only could
Harden hearts like a piece of wood
Be uncaring and unfeeling
So broken hearts will need no healing

How would it be if it were so
Love and heartache we would not know
Dare we seek a heart of stone
Care for non but ourselves alone

Not the way God had it planned
When He formed us with His hand
Dared to liken us like Him above
To have His heart for it is love

Dared to love us when sin brought fall
Give His Son for us all
Jesus Saviour, loving heart
Died on cross with arms apart

Dared to suffer for us to save
Love triumphed over the grave
No sealing in with cold hard stone
Could stop Him rising to atone

We will know joy and heartache
The heart will love, perhaps will break
But He knows its every beat
Bring it to Him, kneel at His feet

O my friend harden not your heart
Give to Him every single part
He cares for it from up above
Trust in Him and dare to love
