Love, such an easy word to say, such a hard word to live
I want my life and words to say it well
Love, such a good and lovely thought, yet so tough to act upon
I want the things I do to say it well
When You look at me will You see evidence
Of faithful caring love, of kindness between friends
Love, such a pretty word to pen, yet upon the page so plain
I want the words I write to be divine
Love, sometimes the giving flows with joy, sometimes receiving stops me cold
I want the give and get to be aligned
When You look at me will You see evidence
Of faithful caring love, of kindness between friends
When You look at us will You see evidence
Of faithful caring love, of kindness between friends
I want to say it like a poet whose words awaken wonder
I want to say it like an artist who helps us feel and see
I want to say it like a leader who envisions peace and justice
I want to say it like my Saviour as I kneel to wash Your feet
I want to say it like a father who provides for all his children
Like a mother's care and wisdom, feeds her family
I want to say it like a servant who labours for Your welfare
And like a husband's words of tribute on their golden anniversary!
Love, such an easy word to say, it takes character to live
I want my life and words to say it well
Ooo-oo-oo, I'll say it well
