The Superlative Song

How peerlessly you have loved me

unlike any that I have known

put not even yourself above me

took me in and gave me home

 

You withheld nothing from my asking

even offered to me your throne

without your love our joy untasking

and its secrets  you have me shown

 

Purchased you have us the ransom of a king

that you might release a begger ever wash her clean

who understands your favor something she has never seen

the world she lived among the treatment always mean

 

Your excellence incomparable to any other man

perfect sacrifice you offered retributions just demand

supremacy of quality in Truth you do delight

perfect gift you have offered and supernal sight

 

Nothing have you withheld to demonstrate your love

declared that what you taught came from Jah above

humbly in his service your life you did surrender

that those you would call might the same service render

 

For such a love many happily would die

that you might consider worthy little such as I

how could one ever hope to repay such a care

unless we ourselves can so similar to dare

 

Who has ever for you sacrificed their life

suffered mankinds abuses to release a wife

how would you respond if that were offered you

the only requirement this kind of love you do

 

Happily I would give the farthings that I own

never to depart such arms would I ever roam

have I never this kind of care found in earthly place

to keep it I would joyfully former life erase

 

Only as a parent could concieve I understand

to feed them clothe and shelter safetally in hand

gladly would have suffered to keep them all from harm

sheltered them from violence and the lies of charm

 

What crucible could form such loveliness in man

to aspire of its likes the apex of "I am"

oh how we are humbled no comparason to you

fallen by these standards everything we do

 

Its heighth and depth no man has attained its reach

that we should feel so inclined its readiness to teach

don't be looking at your neighbor message very clear

we ourselves must do the same if holding neighbor dear

 

The world would take this from you and give nothing back

blood stained is its ego , true affection it does lack

how can one hope to exemplify your name

if one is unwilling to do the very same

 

You have shown by your example Loves reality

what are its qualities in believers we must see

clearly in your teaching your characters display

those who say they follow you must demonstrate your way
