In the sacred scriptures, love does unfold, A story of grace, of a love untold. In the Bible’s verses, we come to see, God’s love for us, unconditionally. From Genesis to Revelation’s end, God’s love for us, it does transcend. In every chapter, in every verse, A love so deep, a love so diverse. In…
