Here’s a sacred love poem to God, rooted in the greatest commandment (Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37), woven with Scripture:
**"First Love"**
*A Devotional Poem*
**Verse 1:**
*With all my heart—this broken drum*
*That only beats to seek Your face (Psalm 27:8).*
*Take every fractured, wayward thrum,*
*And tune it to Your perfect grace (Ezekiel 36:26).*
**Verse 2:**
*With all my soul—this breath You gave,*
*Now lifted as an incense flame (Psalm 141:2).*
*No other name my lips shall crave,*
*No other love my life shall claim (Song of Solomon 2:16).*
**Verse 3:**
*With all my might—these weary hands*
*That work as worship at Your throne (Colossians 3:23).*
*Not by my strength, but Yours that stands—*
*Your power in my weakness shown (2 Corinthians 12:9).*
**Bridge:**
*"Bind them as signs upon my hands,*
*As frontlets 'tween my eyes (Deuteronomy 6:8).*
*Let love be my commandment band—*
*My all, my only prize (Philippians 3:14)."*
**Final Stanza:**
*Threefold the cord none can untie:*
*Heart, soul, and strength agree.*
*Till in Your arms of fire I wake—*
*One love, One God, in Three (Mark 12:29-30; 1 John 5:7).*
This poem moves through the three dimensions of wholehearted love, echoing Moses' command, Christ's affirmation, and the Spirit's sealing. May it draw you deeper into the love "that surpasses knowledge" (Ephesians 3:19). 🔥✝️
*(Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Matthew 22:37-40; The Shema throughout Scripture.)*
