Loving God and Neighbor

To love the Lord
With all my heart
And my neighbor
Each day I start.

Is a commandment
Of most importance
And brings to life
Great significance.

Each and every day
I will always embrace
To expand my faith
And be filled with grace.

Building relationships
Each day I awake,
The Lord will guide
Each step I take.

Building the path
From a place of doom
To a place I grow
And begin to bloom.
