Valentine's Day was Saturday and yesterday the choir at church sang several beautiful songs of love. (I am grateful for our director, David Livingston's gift of being able to pick just the right songs for each Sunday) Yesterday's songs are still rattling around in my head and heart and keep asking to be shared. So here are the words to three of them. AS you read through, I hope these words seep into your heart as well. Love is the source of all our life. It is a sacred thing because it is from God. Happy loving dear friend! ~ Jules
LOVE SONGS FROM SINGING IN CHOIR
When Our Heart is in a Holy Place
[words & music by Joyce Poley]
CHORUS:
When our heart is in a holy place
When our heart is in a holy place
We are blessed with love and amazing grace
When our heart is in a holy place
When we trust the wisdom in each of us
Every color, every creed and kind
And we see our faces in each other’s eyes
Then our heart is in a holy place.
When we tell our story from deep inside
And we listen with a loving mind
And we hear our voices in each other’s words
Then our heart is in a holy place.
When we share the silence of sacred space
And the God of our Heart stirs within
And we feel the power of each other’s faith
Then our heart is in a holy place.
Love is the Touch
[words by Alison Robertson, Iona Community,
Tune: SLANE, arranged by Lori True]
Tune: SLANE, arranged by Lori True]
Love is the touch of intangible joy
Love is the force that no fear can destroy
Love is the goodness we gladly applaud
God is where love is for love is of God
Love is the lilt in a lingering voice
Love is the hope that can make us rejoice
Love is the cure for the frightened and flawed
God is where love is for love is of God
Love is the light in a tunnel of pain
Love is the will to be whole once again
Love is the trust of friend on the road
God is where love is for love is of God
Love is the Maker and Spirit and Son
Love is the kingdom their will has begun.
Love the pathway the saints all have trod
God is where love is for love is of God
