Loving is the answer (Vol 4 No 100)


Loving is the answer; loving is the way

To give life its purpose, now and everyday;

We know deep inside us, known since we were born,

Loving brightens darkness, ushers in the dawn.

God is known in loving; Jesus shows us how;

Let us follow closely; live God’s kingdom now.

 

Loving gives permission, sponsors liberty,

Though it may be costly, grants autonomy;

Love is not coercive, never uses force;

Love is not oppressive, nor dictates our course.

God is known in loving; Jesus shows us how;

Let us follow closely; live God’s kingdom now.

 

Loving makes the difference, bringing us alive;

Loving is affirming, urging us to thrive;

Loving offers freedom, never seeks control;

Fosters liberation for both heart and soul;

God is known in loving; Jesus shows us how;

Let us follow closely; live God’s kingdom now.
