Well that day to say I love you,
Has come rolling 'round again,
But do the ones you live with,
Know just how you feel within.
I can say I love you and mean,
Several different things.
But what I live out through each day,
May not have that same ring.
I love you for what? You ask.
Attraction comes quite cheap.
We need to love much deeper,
Our promises should keep.
Some are in it just for pleasure,
"You, should do just what I say."
It doesn't give but only takes,
And then, goes its own way.
Agape love is different,
It's a love you can't repay.
It comes from selfless sacrifice,
Learned by walking Jesus' way.
So tell the ones you live with,
Of the deep respect you hold.
For their sharing of their lives with you,
Shared life stories being told.
Jesus is our teacher,
We can learn to love like Him.
His lessons are free for all,
His examples freely given..
So search your heart for His love,
Not love from human feeling.
But love from God's Holy Spirit,
That will still be strong in heaven.
