Love that stands the test of time,
Endures the greatest pain;
Standing firm against the storm,
And yet, still love remains.
A calm among the storm tossed winds,
A peace down deep inside;
Will keep that faith alive and strong,
As long as love abides.
Love that conquers anything,
Knows only how to give;
Asking nothing in return,
A love that will forgive.
It looks past any sorrow,
Much stronger than the wind;
The faith that stands the storms of life,
Will be there in the end.
Faith that's given everything,
With nothing left to give;
Will find the strength to give yet more,
When only love remains.
