The Greatest Love Story Ever To Be Told

The greatest love story ever to be told
Is the one that lasts forever
Never to be deemed old
A love nothing can sever

“Romeo” took the hit for you, and for me
Showing us what love looks like
Not from a balcony, but from a tree
A rose of blood in His hand, it’s stem a spike

“Romeo’s” heart broken
Torn apart
Spat on
Left in the dark

What have I done
To deserve such a manner of love
That a Father would offer up His perfect Son
As a sign from up above

No more feuds
Montague’s and Capulet’s now equal
We are all the chosen
Now let love be our sequel 

Dressed in flesh torn
Painted red
His head crowned by thorns
“Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do” is what He said

Our sins framed Him
On a wooden cross
The ultimate injustice
The only blameless man bore our cost

“It is finished!”
The devil got his pound of flesh
Only having one more thing to look forwards to
Death

But this love could not be crossed out by a piece of wood
The grave could not suppress it’s resurrection
This love hath no cure
Tis thee most beautiful infection

I was blind but now, now I see
Thanks to Your amazing grace
Love was poured out from a tree
Trickling down my face

This love is real
It does not seek it’s own
If you think you can go without
Then go ahead and “cast the first stone”

This love is selfless
This love is sacrifice
This love is enduring
This love is Jesus Christ
