Love is the Answer

A sign in a window said simply this

Love is the answer

I inquired within to see what it meant

The boy that I am was curious indeed

I was told many things that I didn�t understand

I listened to them and they told me to pray

Pray for what I asked with a shrug

Pray to God and know that He is

How do I do that, again I asked how

They said just be simple and say it heartfelt

Say Dear Father, I ask of you today

To come into my life and show me the way

And close your prayer by saying this

In the name of Jesus, Amen

And in all things if you do just this

God will show you a path to go

What kind of path can He show a boy like me

They said it was grand, the path for me

And so I went home and went up to bed

I laid down to sleep, and a prayer I did say

Then I said two, and then two more

And soon I was sleepy, and could say no more

Then something came over me, Jesus then said

Do you believe in who I am

I said to Him then as I say every night

Jesus you are, the blood of the Lamb

You gave your life for me and all man

For I am so grateful and full of Your love

He then said to me, will you repent of your sins

I said to Him then, I can and then did

We wept together for a very long time

I slept after that in His arms for a while

When I awoke I knew He was there

Everywhere I go He is with me

I pray to the Father in His name everyday

And He shows me things I have to share

So how do I say of the things He shows me

To people I love and know like family

I have to tell them for this is grand

And what I have seen, is complex to understand

So I prayed to Father and He showed me how

He said to me then to be like a child

Simple and pure are you my son

I forgave you and you forgive them

Sometimes they will not know what you say

Just plant a seed and I will take care of the rest

Then tell them about love and the sign you saw

For the sign did say Love is the answer

And then you found Me, and I was pleased
