The Fruit Of Love Poem by Denis Martindale

The fruit of love's quite plain to see... it blossoms like the rose...
It starts like every mystery... a secret till it grows...
And when full grown, the fruit's so good... for family and friends...
And when it's blessed the neighbourhood... amazing grace descends...
For love obeys God's greatest laws... it seeks not to resist...
For love observes God's greatest cause... like each evangelist...

That's why Good News spreads far and wide... it spans across the globe...
It's like a light that none can hide... it grants both joy and hope...
Such that the children learn love's ways... from kindnesses we've shown...
And start to lift up holy praise... towards God's Holy Throne...
Enough to make the angels cheer... enough to make them smile...
The fruit of love grows year by year... despite each test and trial...

Despite each setback, ache and pain... as proved at Calvary...
Where love itself was made most plain... Christ died for you... and me...
That's why He's called the King of Love... the apple of God's eye...
Because through death, Christ did enough... our precious souls to buy...
Yet Christ's now risen, rest assured... the Saviour of us all...
As our Redeemer, He's our Lord... God's greatest miracle...
