Love is his word music

I don’t remember ever singing this song with words by Luke Connaughton to a traditional tune, Cresswell, but I find a made a MIDI for it in the 1990s so I suppose I must have.

You can hear it on bells here and on church organ here.

1. Love is His word, Love is His way,

Feasting with all, fasting alone,

Living and dying, rising again

 Love only love is His way.

Chorus

Richer than gold is the love of my Lord.

Better than splendour and wealth.

2. Love is His way, love is His mark,

Sharing His last Passover feast.

Christ at the table, host to the twelve Love,

only love, is His mark.

3. Love is his mark, love is His sign,

Bread for our strength, wine for our joy,

This is my body, this is my blood

Love, only love is His sign.

4. Love is His sign, love is His news,

Do this He said Lest you forget

All my deep sorrow, all my dear blood,

Love, only love, is His news.

5. Love is His news, Love is His name,

We are His own, chosen and called,

 Family, brethren, cousins and kin.

Love, only love is His name.

6. Love is His name, love is His law,

Hear His command, all who are His,

Love one another, I have loved you

Love, only love, is His law.

7. Love is His law, Love is His word,

Love of the Lord, Father, and Word,

Love of the Spirit, God ever one,

Love, only love, is His word.
