467- Life Is Great! So Sing About It
Christian Life: Joy and Peace
1
- Life is great! So sing about it,
- As we can and as we should-
- Shop and buses, towns and people,
- Village, farmland, field and wood,
- Life is great and life is given;
- Life is lovely, free and good.
2
- Life is great!- what ever happens,
- Snow or sunshine, joy or pain,
- Hardship, grief or disillusion,
- Suffering that I can't explain-
- Life is great if someone loves me,
- Holds my hand and calls my name.
3
- Love is great!- the love of lovers,
- Whispered words and longing eyes;
- Love that gazes at the cradle
- Where a child of loving lies;
- Love that lasts when youth has faded,
- Bends with age, but never dies.
4
- Love is giving and receiving-
- Boy and girl, or friend with friend;
- Love is bearing and forgiving
- All the hurts that hate can send;
- Love's the greatest way of living,
- Hoping, trusting to the end.
5
- God is great! in Christ He loved us,
- As we should, but never can-
- Love that suffered, hoped and trusted
- When disciples turned and ran,
- Love that broke through death forever.
- Praise that loving, living Man!
