When love explodes and fills the sky, Praise God, and share our Maker's joy. 2 When love has flow'red in trust and care, Build both each day, that love may dare To reach beyond home's warmth and light, To serve and strive for truth and right. 3 When love is tried as loved ones change, Hold still to hope, though all seems strange, Till ease returns and love grows wise Through list'ning ears and opened eyes. 4 When love is torn, and trust betrayed, Pray strength to love till torments fade, Till lovers keep no score of wrong But hear through pain love's Easter song. 5 Praise God for love, praise God for life, In age or youth, in calm or strife. Lift up your hearts! Let love be fed Through death and life in broken bread. --- 1 Hallar amor – ¡Qué bendición hacer de dos un corazón donde el amor, como explosión, alaba a Dios con gran pasión! 2 Cuando el amore, al florecer en paz y en fe, logra crecer, a los demás hagan llegar la luz y el brillo de su hogar. 3 Y si el amor se ha de probar, hay que aprender, hay que esperar. El agua vuelve asu nivel: escucha y ve, sé siempre fiel. 4 Y si el amor sufre traición, hay que confiar en el perdón: no llevar cuenta del error, resucitar tras el dolor. 5 Alaba a Dios en tempestad, en juventud, o ancianidad, por el amor, que va a nutrir, y por el pan, que has de partir.

We Walk Today in Darkness

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 5:8-9 Lyrics: We walk today in darkness, each waiting for the light of Love that works for justice and seeks to make things right. We wait, sometimes forgetting we do not wait alone, that others long for justice and blessings yet unknown. We walk today in darkness, our purpose unfulfilled. We do not do for others the good that God has willed. We do not offer kindness to those who wait in need, nor justice to our neighbors in every word and deed. We walk today in darkness, our vain hearts filled with shame. We follow our own footsteps and not the Spirit's flame. Self-love bedims our vision, self-interest clouds our sight, and good intentions vanish like shadows in the night. Lord Jesus, light our darkness; with joy dispel our gloom. Prepare us to receive you, and in our lives make room for humble, loving-kindness, for just and honest ways, that we might walk together in Love-illumined days.
