Beloved, I have a benevolence that I am eager to share with you.

You see, I have been trying for a very long time
All my life really
To express the gifts of love given to me so freely
By a loving, generous family, and community during my formative years
People of faith who persevered throughout life's vicissitudes
With devotion to the common good

And I know that if we keep the faith
And keep trying to live with compassion and empathy for all humanity
We shall one day look beside ourselves
To the left and to the right
And the persons we see
We shall recognize
As our brothers and sisters
This is my faith, my song, my walk, my calling

In every season of my life
I believe in love

I'll Sing Of Love

With all my strength I'll sing of love
While I am breathing I'll sing of love
I'll sing of joy, I'll sing of hope

I'll sing of love

With every step that I may take
In every season for all my days
At every stop along the way

I'll sing of love

One single voice crying out
One fallen angel crying out
I hear the voice, I hear the call

I feel the love

I feel the love
