Inclusive love (Vol 1 No 71)

There’s a breeze of hope a-blowing,

There’s a stirring of the soul;

There’s a love that knows no limit;

It renews and makes us whole.

There’s a journeying together,

There are joys and pains to share,

And the Lord whom we all follow       

Is the One who says, “I care.”

For the lonely and the failure

There are many hurts to bear.

For the sick and for the homeless,

For the ones who cringe in fear,

For the ones who feel rejected,

Those who think they’re always wrong,

There’s the Lord whom we can follow;

He shows how we can be strong.

There are many who are different,

Those with whom we disagree,

There are those we judge as guilty,

Who no longer should be free.

There are those whom we might banish,

Who have lost the right to live,

But the Lord whom we all follow

Is the One who says, “Forgive.”

We are salt to give the flavour,

And a light upon a stand.

We are set upon a hill,

And we are seen throughout the land.

So our love must be inclusive;

Given fully, given free;

For the Lord whom we all follow

Shows what love can do and be.
