For the Love of Love

 

Love your neighbor-

This is surely love’s labor

To think more highly of others

To see the strangers as brothers

 

Because of the sake of love

All for the love of love

 

Ambient love shall surround me

Radiant love shall astound me

As I walk in passion and grace

As I love as I’m loved in this place

 

Because of the sake of love

All for the love of love

 

That a man lay his life down

For his friends

And this is love

To be the means to love’s ends..

 

Because of the sake of love

All for the love of love

Because of the sake of love

All for the love of love
