This Christian Valentine poem is based on a famous Bible Valentine verse on love.
I Corinthians 13
Valentine’s Day is a day of love,
For showing that we care,
And if we read the Bible,
God describes love there:
For showing that we care,
And if we read the Bible,
God describes love there:
If we speak like celestial angels
From heaven up above,
All our words mean nothing
If we don’t have Christian love.
From heaven up above,
All our words mean nothing
If we don’t have Christian love.
Love is patient, love is kind;
It doesn’t brag or boast;
Love conquers pride and envy;
It is never self-engrossed.
It doesn’t brag or boast;
Love conquers pride and envy;
It is never self-engrossed.
Love is not rude or angry;
Forgiveness counters wrong;
Love stays away from evil;
It sings a truthful song.

To the Bible it adheres.
It always perseveres;
Love never fails; It’s faithful;

And if you give this kind of love
To your special Valentine,
You’ll be loving right in harmony
With God’s own sweet design.
To your special Valentine,
You’ll be loving right in harmony

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
