LOVE LIKE MY LORD

Love Like My Lord

by Emily Derry

I long to love as does my Lord,

For peace I wish and no discord,

Good things for all, ill will for none

Yes, Lord, Help me love everyone.

***

I long to help all those in need

And to defeat those who love greed.

To do for those who can't repay,

I long to love all every day.

***

I want to love like Christ,

My King, To give my all, my everything,

Yes, seek and help those without love,

And truly love like God above.

***

I long to love with pure desire,

To lift down-trodden from the mire,

To help the helpless as I may,

And live to love another day.

***

I hope that all may love one day

While greed and hatred go away,

That like the gracious one above.

We all may learn to live and love.

***
