Love

I.

Oh sweet blessed gift

Filling me, spilling over
Like a waterfall.

II
Who are we to love?
Our neighbor, Jesus tells us, 
Even those we fear.

III.
Love brings down walls
And builds bridges between us,
Make us neighbors.

IV
All love involves risk.
Jesus knew that, on the cross,
Love poured out for all.

V
Oh sweet blessed Gift
Filling us, spilling over
Like a waterfall.
