Just as a Mother Sings

Lyrics as Poetry

Just as a mother sings her baby to sleep,
just as a father hugs his child,
just as compassion gathers all to her wing:
so is the love of God to me,
so is the love of God to me.Just as a friend will listen when we are low,
just as a neighbour lifts our load,
just as the sun will turn the face of the flower:
so is the love of God to me,
so is the love of God to me.Strong as the beat that keeps the rhythm of life,
clear as the song creation sings,
true as the word that we are never alone:
so is the love of God to me,
so is the love of God to me.
