God Is Love

All we hold is frail and brief

Patched together by belief

The pattern only partially

Revealed for us to see

What are tears but seeds we sow?

In fields unseen such harvest grow

Whose joys will one day overflow

The measure of our grief

REFRAIN

If God is love

Then love we trust

Is strong enough to hold our sorrow

If God is love

He carries us

We will not fear what comes tomorrow

Love will heal us

For God is love

Then suffering's no enemy

And poverty, no poverty

And death our greatest victory

When swallowed up in life

REFRAIN

Though sorrow surge at every step

Yet goodness is assured

For non that harms or troubles here

Will speak the final word

Love speaks the final word

REFRAIN

God is love
