Songs on my mind...

These two songs have been on my mind a lot the last few days...

Love

Love, Love, love, love,
Believers this is your call
Love your neighbors as yourself
for God loves all--

Pass It On

It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing.
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it, you spread his love, to everyone
You want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding;
the birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it, you want to sing, "It's fresh like spring",
You want to pass it on.

I wish for you my friend, the happiness that I've found.
You can depend on Him.  It matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountain top,
I want the world to know; the Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.

And this one just came to me as I was typing those...


They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love

We are one in the spirit, we are one in the Lord.
We are one in the spirit, we are one in the Lord.
And we pray that all unity may one be restored.

And they will know we are Christians by our Love, by our Love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our Love.

We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land.

And they will know we are Christians by our Love, by our Love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our Love.

We will work with each other, we will work side by side.
We will work with each other, we will work side by side. 
And we'll guard each one's dignity, and save each one's pride.

And they will know we are Christians by our Love, by our Love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our Love.

All praise to the Father, from whom all things come.
And all praise to Christ Jesus, His only son.
All praise to the Spirit, who makes all us one.

And they will know we are Christians by our Love, by our Love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our Love.

These have just playing in my mind over and over the last few days.  How wonderful this world could be if we all lived this way...
