Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 ‎#130

130. God is Love

1 I’ll praise the Lord, and this my song,
God is love, God is love;
I’ll sing with all the blood-wash’d throng,
God is love, yes, God is love.

Refrain:
He lifts the veil that sealed my eyes,
And bids the star of faith arise;
I’ll shout, shout the chorus of the skies,
God is love, God is love, God is love.

2 He leads me on with gentle hand,
God is love, God is love;
My Rock amid a thirsty land,
God is love, yes, God is love. [Refrain]

3 The joy I feel to him I owe,
God is love, God is love;
He taught my soul his grace to know,
God is love, yes, God is love. [Refrain]

4 And when I sing on earth no more,
God is love, God is love;
I’ll still proclaim on Canaan’s shore,
God is love, yes, God is love. [Refrain]
