Love Never Fails

I wrote this poem for my wife on the occasion of our 15th wedding anniversary. So, with her permission I share this poem. It is my prayer that our marriage magnifies the worth of our Savior, Jesus. To Him be the glory!

The time we’ve spent as husband and wife’s flown by
I look back on these moments and I sigh.
When it’s looked like all our problems would prevail
You’ve been quick to remind me

His love never fails.

When I’ve lost my cool and treated you like dirt
You forgive so quickly and act like you’re not hurt.
When all the wind has emptied from my sails
You remind me

Our love never fails.

The Blessings in our lives have grown with time
They’ve increased now… from one to five.
Our home life is anything but stale
Once more He whispers

My love never fails.

What’s brought and kept us this far is plain to see
We could take the credit, but that’d be silly.
We live our lives before the One who tore the veil.
And because of Him,

Our love never fails.

And when someday our life on earth is o’er.
I will take your hand and walk you to the door.
We’ll kneel before our King who took our nails.
And there rejoice that

God’s love never fails.
