It's A Wonderful Love! Poem by Denis Martindale

It's love that makes the world go round, four seasons through each year,
In wondrous ways, meant to astound, so Christmas could appear.
Reminding us, God isn't far, if we, in Him, delight,
We sometimes see a shooting star, and smile at this new sight.
Behold God's power, shown above, beyond sun, moon and stars,
Because it's a wonderful love that made each come to pass.
Positioned each in its own space, and from then on to shine,
So that God's plans were set in place to prove Himself divine.

It's love that leads to sweet romance, another heart to win,
It's love each person understands that overcomes our sin.
True love, that's what the heart hopes for, the best way to get blessed,
A love that thrills us to the core, far greater than the rest.
That's why God sent the King of Love, to take our sins away,
Who grants amazing grace enough, to hear us when we pray.
Life is important! Yes, indeed, once Christ's love sets us free!
It's a wonderful life we lead, once saved through Calvary!
