The Book of Love

Verse 1

No church or cult, do I ask you to join

I need not your things, nor require your coin

It is only your attention, I ask as a toll

My only intention, to show you your soul

​

Verse 2

For always we banter, the word about

Unaware of the source, we dread the doubt

At first it was sacred and rarely used

Now it is common and often abused

 

Verse 3

With reckless abandon, we confess admiration

We scoff at the effort, of art’s imitation

This thing then that, claim pieces of heart

The hole they don't fill, will tear you apart

Verse 4

To waste it on things, is a loss undeserved

To life you must give, your love unreserved

From smallest to largest, a heart it still beats

To hold and adore, is the greatest of feats

 

Verse 5

All of us can, yet so few of us do

The courage it takes, to decide to be you

The only true sadness, is wasted affection

Follow your heart, it knows the direction

 

Verse 6

Material wants, without fail dim your sight

Have faith in your soul and the power of light

Take what you need and seek nothing more

For though you have things, your heart will be poor

Verse 7

Of joyful tidings, do I speak

I know not the hour, the day or the week

The end of oppression, is now within sight

If we abandon our hate and in love reunite

​

Verse 8

It is only love, that presides from above

The Spirit, The Father, The Mother, The Son

Within every heart, lies a corner that speaks

It whispers that love, is all that it seeks

 

Verse 9

Misled from birth, we forget how to hear

We lose years, to find it was always near

Not knowing for what, we strive and we yearn

Without it we stumble, each way that we turn

Verse 10

Your heart knows dimensions, as yet undiscovered

Within them wait those, who call you beloved

You are never alone, despite all you were told

They walk your whole life and answers they hold

 

Verse 11

Unaware of their presence, you confuse the task

They exist only to guide, but first you must ask

Love is their mantra and forever they fight

To show you the truth, the love and the light

 

Verse 12

It is love that inspires, an enlightened soul

To see through the lies and carry no hole

To walk down a road, that is yet to be walked

To utter the words, that are yet to be talked

Verse 13

In a dream of reality, it's so hard to wake

Great care and great patience, one must take

Always it seems, the lie has been spoken

The time it has come, for the spell to be broken

​

Verse 14

It is within your power, to forgive and forget

The hurts, the lies, the hate, the regret

In confusion we fly, just like moths to a flame

As though we have learned, to welcome the pain

 

Verse 15

Choose to let go, of the hate in your heart

It is only your burden and keeps you apart

In all of its forms, you are given to choose

To give without want, leaves you nothing to lose

Verse 16

It is within each other, our faith we must place

For love transcends time, religion and race

His voice spoke the word, our lives are the song

Our love is the answer, to right our great wrong

 

Verse 17

Once I walked life, with want in my mind

Ever I hoped, great wealth I would find

Yet alone I traversed, as my faith it was lost

Ignoring my soul, as it measured the cost

 

Verse 18

It took all my courage, to open the door

To let go of fear and dream once more

It was then that the Angels, enlightened my heart

They showed me the wealth, I had missed from the start
 

Verse 19

The abundance of love, that often we miss

The comfort and warmth, to be found in a kiss

A hug full and strong, from one who would care

Crowds a moment with joy, in the love that you share

​

Verse 20

The light that a smile, can bring to a face

A glint in the eye, we can never replace

The only true peace, is two sharing their soul

Who without fear of hurt, embrace as a whole

 

Verse 21

The array of a galaxy, viewed from afar

The miraculous wonder, in the birth of a star

Beyond count or measure, the nothing is vast

The abundance within it, no time will outlast

Verse 22

The love of our Father, to send us his Son

A human whilst being, is life just begun

We are here to learn, to love and to grow

Your soul it will reap, the seeds that you sow

 

Verse 23

It is only yourself, you hurt with your pride

The walls that you build, will keep you inside

Unaware of the terrible, price you have paid

A prison of fear, is what you have made

 

Verse 24

Rejoice you must, in the affection of others

We are each of us here, as sisters and brothers

The things that divide us, are angles of slight

We all look the same, in the absence of light

Verse 25

Take a deep breath and hold onto the grace

Forget war and worry, forget time and space

We have only each other, all else is the scene

Only you can decide, when the slate is wiped clean

 

Verse 26

For then there is freedom, to rewrite all you've heard

Your days are the pages, your deeds are the words

Your time is the book, your heart bleeds the ink

You can imagine your future, but try not to think

 

Verse 27

For our Father he knows, your hearts desires

There is naught beyond reach, when love it inspires

If in the name of the Son, you request all you need

In the garden of faith, you have planted a seed
 

Verse 28

Ever the sun will go down and come up

The moon joins the dance, the earth is the cup

For players we are, upon a great stage

Your destiny waits, for you to engage

 

Verse 29

Fate is what's left, for those filled with doubt

The curtain will fall, the screen will fade out

For nothing is written, as though set in stone

Do you choose to be loved, or to be on your own

 

Verse 30

Happiness you'll find, is a choice you can make

With resolve to fear nothing, great steps you will take

So gather your courage, on your sleeve wear your heart

Use your love as a shield, as you rewrite your part
 

Verse 31

It is never too late, to forget all you know

To stand in the light, be the star of your show

For wasted is a life, that is lived in the wings

Have faith in love and the hope that it brings

 

Verse 32

Reflect on the memories, that make up your life

The moments of woe, of fear and great strife

At the foot of the mountain, we give way to despair

But once it is climbed, we no longer care

 

Verse 33

Trust in your soul, leave your old life behind

Grasp every moment, of joy that you find

There is a chorus of Angels, who hover above

All your life they will wait, to show you Gods love
