Oh Lord let me love
And love abundantly
Lord, let me love still
If they don’t love me
Oh Lord let me rejoice
Through your joy, reveal
The wonders of your love
And let nobody steal
Oh Lord, grant me peace
Surrounding in the air
When world is of thieving
Restore it through our prayer
Oh Lord, bless me the grace
Of the letting go
To focus on Your light
Way of forgiveness show
Oh Lord, forever seek
Your love my treasure be
Foundation of our faith
Through binding into thee
(Romans 12:9-16)
Let love be sincere
Evil let us hate
Hold onto what is good
Let our love be great
Honor one another
Do not grow slack in zeal
Be fervent in the Spirit
Serve the Lord genteel
In hope let us rejoice
Endure in affliction
Persevere in prayer
Giving our conviction
Blessing persecutors
Bless and do not curse
With hospitality
You grace to disperse
Rejoice with rejoicers
Weep with those who weep
Let us not be haughty
Friends of the lowly keep
How grateful that
This sinner be
Receiver of
The grace of thee
You bless my way
In gifts bestowed
When troubles rose
Love overflowed
So underserved
And still light shines
I’m still in awe
Of gifts divine
What can I do?
Your Word unfurled
To bring Your love
Into this world
Making of a sunrise
Not something that we do
We just sit and be
And let it come from You
Gift that’s blessed to us
Not something we control
Its true beauty seen
Through the eye of soul
Moving of its colors
Joy is found right here
When the clouds descend
We know that it’s still there
Similar to God’s love
Shining everywhere
Blessed is the receiver
Reflecting in it share
Come closer my child
Speaks one, full of grace
Even, closer still
Know my embrace
Relax in my comfort
Release now all fear
For all those in heaven
Are with us right here
All who have loved you
Connect in our bond
Sing in rejoicing
The love of beyond
Song of desire
A knowledge impart
May love of our God
Be instilled in your heart
From dawn of creation
‘Til eternity’s end
In each passing moment
Your love to us send
In each blessed moment
Of every day
You love us uniquely
In our special way
Whether we’re holy
Or we drift afar
You never stop loving
For that’s who you are
Beyond comprehension
With a love pure and true
Every soul of existence
Is cherished by You
A prayer for this day
With intentional choice
Let us pause in the moment
To receive and rejoice!
Blessed is the greeting
For one to impart
Truly genuine
Love flows from the heart
In sparkle of the eye
Warmth in smile deep
Joy within the air
Your Presence flowing seeps
Treasure in the binding
Gentleness of touch
Filling of desire
That I need so much
Glimpse of knowing seen
Soul now is aware
How in every moment
That which our Lord shares
Know my love is tender
Know my love so sweet
Unconditional
Pure my love, complete
Know it is surrounding
Find it everywhere
Wherever you may go
See my love appear
Know my love eternal
Timeless without bounds
One beyond all measure
Unending it abounds
Know it is for you
Unique within your way
My joy in the giving
For you everyday
In mirror of Gods’ gaze
Truth for me to see
Raw honesty to flow
No good is born of me
Selfish is my ego
Pride of me to flair
Greedy disposition
Sin for me to share
But I have a Savior
Who sees another view
Loving transformation
Unending mercy spew
He calls unto the greater
Source of all good found
Gifts abundant blessing
Showered me around
Taught by servant parents
And souls of a light appeared
Who showered me with love
Treasured gifts to share
So if you see good through me
A message we’ll both know
It was a gift passed to me
I’m blessed to bestow
In days of gray sky
Of colors long gone
When vision is cloudy
A gift comes along
Blessing of sharing
Returns from the past
An act of love shared
Proves echo that lasts
One long forgotten
That grew in friend’s soul
Shines back to me now
A light that consoles
Hope shining bright
That Spirit imparts
The wind blows deep
Inside the heart
