When All Else Is Gone

Music by Ron Klusmeier
Words by Shirley Erena Murray
Tune Name: CROFTON

Lyrics as Poetry

When all else is gone, these things remain:
faith, hope and love,
faith, hope and love,while our life goes on, these things sustain:
faith, hope and love,
faith, hope and love,faith finds the path,
hope is the start,
love keeps the world
close to God’s heart,faith may be strong,
hope may be sure
but for the world,
love is the cure.When all else is gone, through dark and pain,
love will still burn,
love will be born,when our faith is gone, when hope is vain,
love moves the stone,
love, love alone.
