My Love is Sovereign
Ummmmmmmm…
Master of Love…
Who rules the Kingdom of Love?
Love does.
Then where is the throne?
Within you.
And where is the Kingdom?
Between us.
Then who is the Sovereign?
Dear Ones…
Love is Sovereign.
And your Love?
My Love is Sovereign.
My Love is Sovereign!
(My Love is Sovereign!)
No fear governing,
no chains covering—
My Love is Sovereign!
No crown above me,
no throne above you—
Love beside Love,
free to Love true.
My Love is Sovereign!
But Master…
If my Love is Sovereign,
does that mean I answer to no one?
No.
It means your Love
answers to Love.
Does anger govern it?
No!
Does jealousy govern it?
No!
Does fear govern it?
No!
Does another person’s approval govern it?
No!
Then what governs your Love?
Love governs Love!
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
My Love is Sovereign!
(My Love is Sovereign!)
No fear governing,
no chains covering—
My Love is Sovereign!
Can I make someone Love me?
No.
Can I make them stay?
No.
Can I own their heart?
Never.
Then what can I do?
Love them.
And if they leave?
Love does not become a prison
because the door is open.
And if they do not choose me?
You choose what your Love becomes.
And if my heart is broken?
Your heart may break.
Your Love does not have to.
Ummmmmmmm…
Master…
Does Sovereign mean alone?
No.
Does freedom mean apart?
No.
Can two sovereign beings
choose each other?
Yes.
Without possession?
Yes.
Without surrender?
Yes.
Without chains?
Yes.
Then what holds them together?
Choice.
Again tomorrow?
Choose again.
And the next day?
Choose again!
Free to come,
free to go,
Free to stay,
free to grow.
I don’t own you.
You don’t own me.
That’s not less Love—
That’s Love set free!
My Love is Sovereign!
(My Love is Sovereign!)
Your Love is Sovereign!
(Your Love is Sovereign!)
Side by side—
neither above!
Sovereign beings
choosing Love!
But Master of Love…
If you are the Master,
are you our ruler?
Oh, Dear Ones…
To master Love
is not to master you.
Then what have you mastered?
Listening.
To whom?
The Sovereign of Love.
Where can we hear her?
Within you.
Where can we find her?
Within you.
Can we become her?
Dear Ones…
That is the whole idea.
Ummmmmmmm…
Who sits upon
the throne of your heart?
No king!
No queen!
No lover!
No master!
Then who?
The Sovereign of Love!
And where does the revolution begin?
WITHIN US!
Where does the Kingdom grow?
BETWEEN US!
Where does the Kingdom live?
AMONG US!
And when does the Kingdom come?
WHENEVER WE LOVE!
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
No passport needed!
(No border!)
No army needed!
(No war!)
No prisoner!
(No guard!)
No ownership papers
on the human heart!
My Love is Sovereign!
(My Love is Sovereign!)
My Love is Sovereign!
(My Love is Sovereign!)
Fear cannot govern it!
Anger cannot conquer it!
Power cannot purchase it!
No throne can contain it!
MY LOVE ANSWERS TO LOVE!
(My Love answers to Love!)
MY LOVE ANSWERS TO LOVE!
(My Love answers to Love!)
Master…
If the Sovereign is within me…
And the Sovereign is within you…
Where is the Kingdom?
Between us.
And if we carry it
from person to person?
Among us.
And if enough of us
choose Love?
Dear Ones…
Don’t wait for the Kingdom.
Don’t search the deserts.
Don’t search the skies.
Don’t build another throne.
Become the Kingdom.
Ummmmmmmm…
My Love is Sovereign…
(Your Love is Sovereign…)
Our Love is free…
(Our Love is free…)
The Sovereign within us…
The Kingdom between us…
The Kingdom among us…
Love beside Love.
Love choosing Love.
Love answering to Love.
Ummmmmmmm…
My Love is Sovereign.
