When love lays wide through Christ our door
Whatever fools may say
Upholding God’s eternal law
Will surely win the day
Love is the way to self demise
The root to live again
The source through which true prayer can rise
To Jesus Christ’s amen
Love is the plant from Heaven’s Seed
The kern of God on high
The fruit from which the world should feed
In order not to die
Love’s a fountain life’s bubbling spring
A stream to fill a sea
A tune to dance a song to sing
And to God’s heart the key
Love causes cups to overflow
Can lift a nation cursed
Can cause life’s dried up river flow
To quench the world of thirst
God’s love to man has been made known
Calvary’s cross made clear
Through which by grace from Heaven’s throne
Salvation may appear
Does not God’s Lamb deserve our love?
Warrant our heartfelt praise?
Should not its fragrance rise above
Throughout our life long days
When love becomes our breath of air
Our drink our daily bread
Our God may use one anywhere
Even to raise the dead.....
