Deploy Your Love Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Evoke the might of Jesus’ arm
Become a servant wise
Show selfless love and seek no harm
To those your ways despise

By grace we’re saved God’s love to share
God’s Light through Christ to shine
Reveal to people everywhere
How great is love divine

Although it’s hard to serve at times
Life floods our heart with doubt
But who forgives their neighbour’s crimes
Portraits what love’s about

Deploy the force that moves God’s hand
Stir up His Realm above
Teach those yet dead to understand
The truth of selfless love

God’s gift brings growth to eyes grown weak
To souls festooned with pride
Gives strength to those whom life would seek
And draws God’s Dove inside

It’s free to all through Christ alone
When faith’s true song we sing
Melting our evil hearts of stone
Beside Life’s endless Stream

Enrich the world with love profound
Through Jesus Christ within
More precious than the finest gold
Is love that covers sin

It comes from God to use at will
Through Christ, king David’s Root
Until the day we climb God’s Hill
And reap its endless fruit
