Why is that?

Hi,

Sometimes in the lyrics of hymns or gospel songs, I see words like this:

Let's look for love divine.

Why does 'divine' follow the word 'love'? Is it because it is meant to be something like 'love that is divine'?

Why not write as "Let's look for divine love"?

Hi,

It's just a poetic way of writing.
