Life is great! so sing about it,
As
we can and as we should–
Shops
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, hope and trusted
When
disciples turned and ran,
Love
that broke through death for ever.
Praise
that loving, living Man!
