Love Limitless

orchidee



Tune: Capetown

('Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost')

******

To love, it be your command

Appointed by your good hand

Lord, come help, forgive, inspire

With your holy fire

 

Show us how to love, whole heart

Love to you in every part

Your love first to us you shared

By grace unimpaired

 

Where our love be partial, cold

Yet your love still does us hold

Gospel of your love be told

With your courage bold

 

And love for one another

Each sister and each brother

Strengthen us where faint we  be

To love completely

 

Employing heart, mind, will, soul

Where distractions bring a lull

Help us return to first love

Spirit, holy dove

 

And our love expressively

In our praises tunefully

Pray, accept for your glory

We your creatures be

 

Gifts and graces we do know

Given to us here below

God in heaven, Spirit lives

In our hearts, life gives

        Thanks A&B. You did not 'tempt' Fido to bark! lol. He knows this sort of love too when I tickle his tummy! (I haven't even got a dog really). Fido's a real pest sometimes. lol.

          If we all loved each other would there be enough to go round? Should we order more from Amazon?

          • orchidee

            Thanks M. Yes, let\'s orders tons of it. How much does it cost? And can you get it from your Co-op too?

            • Michael Edwards

              Yes and they do their own brand as well - buy one get one free - always wanted free love !! lol

              Maybe because its Valentine's Day, you should pen a her poem, just to even it up a bit... nothing that might set Fido off tho...

              • orchidee

                Thanks N. I'm scared of Fido - he's so fussy. The least thing sets him off!

                • Neville

                  I have noticed...
