For The Love Of God Poem by Carmela Patterson

For the love of God our hearts beat with ardor;
For love of us He died ignobly as a Martyr.

How freely God gives from eternity to eternity
Jesus and His apostles in Christian Fraternity.

Unconditional and unfathomable Love He gives
To His every creature who breathes, who lives.

For the love of God our souls soar to the height;
He permits us to share a glimpse of His Light.

How freely God refreshes the earth every day
And renews our souls when we penitently pray.

Unconditional and unfathomable the graces He showers
While the immeasureable blessings He grants are ours.

For the love of God we are each unique, one of a kind
Lovingly created, directly from our Father's Mind
Carefully formed, all members perfectly designed
Each mind, heart, soul and spirit dignified;
Praise God His heart to ours is entwined.

For the love of God we join together in Praise
Worshiping Him joyfully ~ for endless days!
