It matters not
if I be perfect in word
It matters not
if I sometimes seem absurd
It matters not
if perfection is never mine to hold
Rather it is love
that matters most
~*~
I could write the perfect song with the sweetest melody
I could paint a perfect picture of the world and eternity
I could write the great Aussie novel - be it short or long
but if I have not love to give to you then I'm little more than a clanging gong
~*~
A fellow human lays cast along the roadside
shot down by Life and left to die
but if all I offered was the talents I claim to hold inside
tell me, please... what good am I...?
~*~
It matters not
if I be strong in arm and mind
It matters not
if I am rich in finances and time
It matters not
if perfection be the key to my home
Rather it is love
that matters most
~*~
I could build a pedestal or a tower to the sky
I could boast of all the good I claim to have done in my life
I could speak a thousand prayers and boast of these in time
but what good am I if love is not in this heart of mine
~*~
A fellow human cries out for inner peace
should I simply give religion in hope to meet their need
or should I do as God did for me
and use love to set their hurting hearts free
~*~
It matters not
what my name may be
It matters not
what is and is not my abilities
It matters not
if I'm perfect or imperfect in soul
Rather it is love
that matters most
~*~
With God
it is love that matters most
