Love Can Change the World
I love my new field ed, Holy Covenant UMC - and I don't even begin in an official capacity until tomorrow! There are lots of reasons for this, but our opening song in worship today reminded me of one of many ways this church is unique and wonderful. Our Gathering song was titled, "Love Can Change the World" by Aaron Newquist:
Love Can Change the World
Bridges are more beautiful than bombs are,
Bridges are more beautiful than bombs!
Listening is louder than a lecture,
Listening is louder than a shout!
But love, love can change the world!
Oh do we still believe that love...
Love can change that world!
Oh do we still believe in love? Love...
God is love and God is love
and love can change the world
(An) open hand is stronger than a fist is,
(An) open hand is stronger than a fist.
Wonder is more valuable than wall street,
Wonder is more valuable than gold!
May we never stop this dreaming of a better world,
May we never stop believing in the impossible!
Love Can Change the World
Bridges are more beautiful than bombs are,
Bridges are more beautiful than bombs!
Listening is louder than a lecture,
Listening is louder than a shout!
But love, love can change the world!
Oh do we still believe that love...
Love can change that world!
Oh do we still believe in love? Love...
God is love and God is love
and love can change the world
(An) open hand is stronger than a fist is,
(An) open hand is stronger than a fist.
Wonder is more valuable than wall street,
Wonder is more valuable than gold!
May we never stop this dreaming of a better world,
May we never stop believing in the impossible!
