LOVE IS

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

A warming fire in the dead of winter

A cooling water in the desert land

Light to every shadow

Love is

 

Consolation in the prison chamber

Splashing color ’cross the gloomy gray

Shelter in the whirlwind

Love is

Love is

 

Pure as the days of childhood

True as the northern star

Wide as the walls of heaven

Love is

 

Love, walk with me so the grass grows greener

Love, stand by me so the sky blows clear

King to every reason

Love is

Love is

 

Pure as the days of childhood

True as the northern star

Wide as the walls of heaven

Love is

 

Love is—love is

You and I know just what love is

True love is pure love is His love

True love is pure love is His love

His love is love

 

Bearing the burden though the shoulders falter

Facing the battle as we lie asleep

Defender of the helpless

Love is

His love is

 

Pure as the days of childhood

True as the northern star

Wide as the walls of heaven

Love is

His love is

Deep as the reach of mercy

Brave as the yielding prayer

Strong as the grasp of Jesus

Love is

 

Love is

His love is
