God is Love by Ikeagwulonu Richard C — Lyrics

Oh Lord, may you give us the grace To love all our friends and to love all our enemies For it's in loving all our enemies We'll bring Christ to them Teach us how to love and to love selflessly For it's in loving all our enemies We'll bring Christ to them For it's in loving all our enemies Salvation will come to them So love is patience So love is kind

About God is Love

"God is Love" is a gentle, earnest prayer for one of the hardest virtues in the Christian life: the grace to love our enemies. Written by Ikeagwulonu Richard C., the piece moves beyond simply loving our friends, reminding the choir and congregation that it is through loving those who oppose us that we truly bring Christ to them.

The lyrics draw beautifully on the famous passage from 1 Corinthians, reminding us that love is patient, kind, and brings joy, while rejecting hatred, slander, and deceit. As the melody unfolds, the choir sings a continuous, heartfelt petition, asking God to teach us how to love selflessly. It is a wonderful piece for times of reflection, general worship, or any liturgy focused on charity, forgiveness, and the peace of Christ.
