Love's Only Hope...

Love's only hope is a vessel like us

to work through and reach out

So that people can trust

Who we proclaim as our God

and King

But to show proof through Love

Is a difficult thing

We desire to change others

to be more like us

But acceptance and grace

Is the ultimate must

We out of habit

Think that there's only one way

To minister God

In this world today

Exclusive and closed

Is what we can't be

God has created

His children to be free

So let's make it a point

To keep Love Alive

Through words and kind acts

And reaching outside

To the hurting and lost

To the needy and grieved

It's the only way

That people can see

Jesus Alive

in

You

and

in

Me...
