God Whose Love is Always Stronger

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Peacemaking First Line: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear Lyrics: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear, In your world, we pray and wonder How to be more faithful here. Hate too often grows inside us; Fear rules what the nations do. So we pray, when wars divide us: Give us love, Lord! Make us new! Love is patient, kind and caring, Never arrogant or rude, Never boastful, all things bearing; Love rejoices in the truth. When we’re caught up in believing War will make the terror cease, Show us Jesus’ way of living; May our strength be in your peace. May our faith in you be nourished; May your churches hear your call. May our lives be filled with courage As we speak your love for all. Now emboldened by your Spirit Who has given us new birth, Give us love, that we may share it Till your love renews the earth. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
