The Love of God

We can feel it in a soft breeze.
We can see it in colored leaves.
We can receive it through a friend.
It will be with us in the end:
It’s the love of God.
We can smell it in a red rose.
It helps us overcome our woes.
We can see it in clear blue skies.
It’s reflected in child’s eyes:
It’s the love of God.
We can hear it in a praise song.
It guides us away from what’s wrong.
We can see it in the starlight.
It helps us follow what is right:
It’s the love of God.
We can let it rule our home.
It never leaves us all alone.
We can see it in falling rain.
And let it wash away our pain:
It’s the love of God.
We can see it in a waterfall.
And watch it smash dividing walls.
We can see it in the strong winds.
And it helps us conquer all sins:
It’s the love of God.
We can see it in the morning dew.
And feel it when the day is through.
It will comfort us when we cry.
And it won’t let us tell a lie:
It’s the love of God.
We can hear it in a still voice.
It gives wisdom for a right choice.
We can see it in a rainbow.
And let it wash us white as snow:
It’s the love of God.
We can see it in the sunshine.
It leads to things that are divine.
We can fell it give us a test.
It motivates to do our best:
It’s the love of God.
We can let it dry painful tears.
And have it cast out all our fears.
It will make us less demanding.
With peace beyond understanding:
It’s the love of God.
We can feel it’s amazing grace.
It’s the halo around God’s face.
It redeems the sins we have done.
It comes to us through God’s Son:
It’s the love of God.
We can feel it in our new birth.
It’s so big it covers the earth.
We can see it by how folks live.
It gives us power to forgive:
It’s the love of God.
We can receive it in our heart.
It gives us a daily new start.
We can feel it each time we pray.
And have more by giving it away:
It’s the love of God.
