The purest things are simple
The sweetest things are free
The most profound, uncluttered
And easier to see.
The fewer letters in a word
The more they seem to mean
Like “love” and “joy” and “hope”
And “red” and “blue” and “green”.
The pictures stick inside my head
When analogies are clear
Less is more in dialogue
The less we talk, the more we hear.
You kept Your message simple
When You said, “Come follow Me.
My yoke is easy, my burden light.
Come walk with Me, you’ll see.
I’ll lead you by still waters
In pastures rich and green
I’ll prepare a great meal for you
The best you’ve ever seen.
The only thing I ask of you
Is to go and love your neighbor
And to love Me with all your heart
These two things I savor.”
Simplify me, Jesus
Reduce my life to love
A simple soul, a message clear
So eyes are drawn to You above.
1 Corinthians 13:13 – And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Psalm 23:2 and 5 – He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters…You prepare a table before me…
Luke 10:27 — He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'”
