Love Is His Word
================
w: Luke Connaughton, 1970

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
Love is his way, love is his mark.
Sharing his last Passover feast.
Guest at his table, host to the Twelve,
Love, only love, is his mark.

[Refrain]
Richer than gold is the love of my Lord,
better than splendor and wealth.
Richer than gold is the love of my Lord,
better than splendor and wealth.

[Verse 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.

[Refrain]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Refrain]

[Verse 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.

[Refrain]

[Verse 7]
Love is his law, love is his word:
Love of the Lord, Father and Word.
Love of the Spirit, God ev'ry one.
Love, only love, is his word.

[Refrain]
