Because He loved

Because he loved,
heaven's splendor,
hell's dark flames couldn't hold him.

Because loved,
he traded the infinite,
for two eyes, two hands and feet:
the bonds of mortal flesh.

Rags he put on and went without a home,
All so I could, into grace, come.
Because he loved.

Because he loved,
he was accused, abused and spat on,
He was beaten and finally smitten

But he bore it,
taking on a crown of thorns
over a crown of light,
Because he
did
has
and
always will
love me.

I cannot even begin to tell you how this makes me smile. I love it when one stands up and tells the world who holds his or her heart. Wonderful!

i like this a lot, especially the last stanza, how the words are separated to emphasize how the love is truly infinite... :)
