Prayer to Love, based on Corinthians

Love, be gentle and Love, be kind - 
Love, be patient with this old heart of mine
'cause I've been having trouble and I've been having hurt.

Love, be a lady, but Love, don't be that kind
that steals your joy from living, that steals your peace of mind.
Love, be clear and deep and knowing, Love, be like my daughter's eyes.

Be my smile to her, be my arms when I hold her tight
Be my lullaby, be my voice when I'm singing.

Love, be her River and Love, be her Road,
Love, be her center and Love, be her Home.

Love, be honest and Love, be true
Love, don't leave me bitter and Love, don't leave me blue
when I've been wronged and burned and cheated -  when I've been used.

Now Love, don't be too flashy and Love, don't be too loud ;
Love, be strong and mighty but Love, don't be too proud,
Love, be confident and graceful,
Love, be like my son.

Be my smile to him, be my arms when I hold him tight,
Be my letting go, be my door - always open.

Love, be his River and Love, be his Road
Love, be his Center and Love, be his Home

Love, be my River and Love, be my Road
Love, be my Harbor and Love, be my Boat

Love me like the Fire and Love me like the Storm
Love me like the Earthquake and like the quiet Morn

Love, be gentle and Love, be kind
Love, be patient with this old heart of mine 'cause I've been out a- wandering,
Love, be my Home.

Love, Be
