One True Love

I wrote this for my daughters and their friends a while ago. They all got rings that say 'true love waits. ' I thought I'd share it with you.

One True Love

Do you want to wait for your one true love,
the special one chosen by God above?
Or would you rather mess around and play with fire -
flirting with lust, temptation and desire?

Will you give your heart to each guy that comes along,
telling you they love you and it can't be wrong?
If this is what you choose, you will have little more
than a torn and broken heart for the one you long for

Would you like to save yourself for the perfect man?
It won't be easy, but with God's help you can
It starts with Him, no one else is able
to give you the willpower… to keep you stable

Remember He is with you wherever you go
Talk to Him daily and you will know
how much He loves you, how much He cares
how much He is interested in all your affairs

He only has the very best for you in mind
He's the greatest Love you will ever find
He knit you together in your mother's womb
when it comes to your love life, you must presume
that only He can choose the greatest man for you
beyond your wildest dreams, you haven't got a clue!

Seek Him and know Him and someday he may bring
the perfect husband to make your heart sing
But before he gives one who fits you like a glove
He'd like for you to know about His perfect love
It's waiting there for you, just reach out and take it
If you know His love, no one else can fake it

Take Him in your heart, in Him you can confide
He wants to support you and be your guide
He'll help you avoid being led off course,
falling for lies, peer pressure and worse

If you've already fallen and made a big mistake
You need Him even more, for your broken heart's sake
He wants to forgive you and heal your wounds
He's waiting to help you and wants it to be soon

Jesus loves you so much, you are special to Him
Not a shallow love like a fling or a whim
A love so deep that He would die for you
And that's what He did because all along He knew
That in this broken world full of trouble and strife
One day you would need Him and want Him in your life

"I have loved you with an everlasting love…" Jeremiah 31:3
