Heavens Valentine

One day on a hill long ago;

Within your design.

You gave us a precious gift;

Heavens valentine.


Oh Lord, thank-you for caring;

Thank-you for your love.

Thank-you for your salvation;

Your heart from above.


The most beautiful valentine;

Was written in red.

A selfless act of mercy;

And thorns on your head.


In great love you gave your life;

So that we could live.

In great love you sacrificed;

So that we could give.


Without your love and your grace;

Oh, where would I be.

Drowning in a pit of sin;

But you rescued me.


You reached down in pure love;

Because you are kind.

You are precious, you are true;

Heavens valentine.


Your love has lifted many;

From the pits of hell.

Your grace has soothed the wounded;

Yet no words can tell.


You reached down in pure love;

Because you are kind.

There is no one as loving;

Heavens valentine.
