Love Has Taken Over.

Love Has Taken Over

A poem by MK Douglas         Copyright © 2011


Love has taken over.  It gave my flesh the cold shoulder.
No longer drunk but sober.  So glad I didn't wait till I got older.
My flesh keeps screaming why.  I tell it that God's love can no longer hide.
The test is to keep seeing it die.  I gotta keep winning this battle inside.
Love has taken over.  Selfishness has left the building.
Like a good soldier to the Spirit I keep on yielding.
Love has taken over.  It kicked selfish sin out the door.
So many times I've seen love win this title bout before.
Love has taken root.  And those roots run deep in my heart.
Love has a place in you.  It grows true and keeps the sin apart.
Let me share this nugget with you and I pray that you all will get it.
The only way that selfishness will win is if we sin and let it.
