Valentine's
Day with Jesus
Jesus does
not send perfume
To linger
in the air
Instead He
sends salvation, sweet
To show how
much He cares.
He doesn’t
bring me candy hearts
In boxes of
delight
Instead He
always lets me know
I’m precious
in His sight.
He doesn’t
pass out pretty cards
Trimmed in
shades of red
Instead He
gave His life for me
His precious
blood was shed.
He doesn’t
hand out fancy gifts
Like we would
send to mother
Instead He
sends a message clear
To always
love each other.
He doesn’t
give me teddy bears
That whimper,
“please be mine”
Instead He
gave His heart to me
I wear it
all the time.
He doesn’t
give me roses, pink
For all the
world to see
Instead He
gave eternal life
That’s good
enough for me.
