Analysis of The Last Line is Yours
Without trust there’s no love.
And love can’t be forced.
Look to heaven above.
Know that God is the source!
We cannot find true love,
If we do not seek Him!
There is no one to shove,
Have a taste and get in!
Just lay down your cares,
Everyone’s welcome here.
Save a portion to share,
Until it becomes clear.
Sow the seed that you cherish!
Can a thorn be a grape?
He doesn’t want you to perish,
Return now and escape!
In Christ alone, you’re complete.
So, lay down your life,
To our Savior retreat!
