Love and Truth

Love and truth all sing together
Justice and peace embrace
Teach us how to love each other
Help us to know their ways

Love speaks truth with such rejoicing,
Weeping for what is wrong
Help us love and live correctly,
Seeking to get along

Love means to obey commandments
We love our God, the Lord
For love's sake He spent His Only
One for our 'crown of thorns'

Love shows we are God's own children
More in our walk than talk
Love means some will feed us lessons
Love will protect the flock

Love and truth both dance with beauty
Mercy meets righteousness
Grace and truth abide forever
Oh, my Lord, You are blessed!
