My Prayer - Let Me Show Love

Hello Everyone!

Today, in my quite time with God, I put on Steve Amerson's CD "Sacred Spaces." As I was listening, one of the songs, "Let Me Show Love," spoke to my heart. I want to share the words of that song, written by Paul Johnson.

If I speak with the words of an angel

But have not love, but have not love

I'd be nothing. I'd be nothing.

Without love, I am nothing at all

And if I give away

all my posessions

But have not love, but have not love

I'd be nothing, I'd be nothing.

Without love, I am nothing at all

Let me show love

When callous words are spoken

And angry voices pierce

right through the heart

Let me show love

Let me bring hope

Where people are despairing

And frantic prayers

ascend to heaven above

Let me show love

Let my life be measured

by compassion

Judging myself, before I cast blame

Let my heart be enlarged by mercy

Knowing that mercy

bears God's holy name

Let me feel love

Toward unfamiliar faces

And all the world's races

torn by tragedy and war

Who long for so much more

Let me show love

Let my faith reveal what grace is

And show that God embraces the

least of all

No one's too small

Let me bring hope

Let me give voice to the voiceless

And music to the ones

who have no song

Who suffer and don't belong

But most of all

Let me show love

Be Encouraged!
