WE THOUGHT WE UNDERSTOOD - By Estelle P.Shrum

We thought we understood the love
We hold for our mates.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our children.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our parents.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our grandchildren.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our friends.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our brethren
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our pets.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for nature.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for the Lord.
But when the Holy Spirit descends upon us
The love we hold is inexpressible.
When the Lord shines His light and covers
Us with His grace it’s incredible.
When the Father reaches down into our heart
And ignites a fire it’s indescribable.
When Jesus touches our soul and covers
Us with His love it is a miracle.
