Love
The ground that hatred has gained will be retaken by love;
the losses that we’ve sustained
will be remembered by love;
the tears that we’ve cried
will be wiped away by love;
the pain and grief inside
will be healed by love;
a world that seems divided
will be remade by love;
this fight is one-sided –
the universe was built by love
and it was made to bring us together;
love is patient, kind, formidable, invincible
and it’s the only thing that will last forever.
Not even death can defeat love.
So all of the sorrow and the loneliness,
all of the anger and bitterness
and confusion and brokenness
will be outflanked, outdone,
outmatched and overcome
by love.
