I went to The Pops tonight and came home singing this song….
I love the lyrics and the depth of truth that resonates within it.
I have a few favorite lines…
Love,
Love changes everything:
How you live and
How you die
Having worked for Hospice, I find this line to be so true. It is my prayer for everyone, that we may be loved well in our living and in our dying….
And the other favorite part, which I find so true is:
Love,
Love changes everything:
Pain is deeper
Than before.
It feels odd to me that the more I love the more I feel pain. I spent a lot of years dead to my heart. I was proud of that fact that I felt very little. My heart was awakened by beautiful people who loved me well. When my heart work up, I felt love and I felt pain and I began to realize the truth of the words in this beautiful song. I am thankful for love that awakened me to pain and never ever let me be the same!
Love,
Love changes everything:
Hands and faces,
Earth and sky,
Love,
Love changes everything:
How you live and
How you die
Love
Can make the summer fly,
Or a night
Seem like a lifetime.
Yes, Love,
Love changes everything:
Now I tremble
At your name.
Nothing in the
World will ever
Be the same.
Love,
Love changes everything:
Days are longer,
Words mean more.
Love,
Love changes everything:
Pain is deeper
Than before.
Love
Will turn your world around,
And that world
Will last for ever.
Yes, Love,
Love changes everything,
Brings you glory,
Brings you shame.
Nothing in the
World will ever
Be the same.
Off
Into the world we go,
Planning futures,
Shaping years.
Love,
Bursts in, and suddenly
All our wisdom
Disappears.
Love
Makes fools of everyone:
All the rules
We make are broken.
Yes, Love,
Love changes everyone.
Live or perish
In its flame.
Love will never,
Never let you
Be the same.
And in my office, on our wall, I have the quote: Person to person, moment to moment, as we love, we change the world. Samahria Lyte Kaufman
Somehow it all really seems to go together!
Go and love boldly!
