God Is Love

There are things you learn as children
But you find out later they 're just not true
And for one reason or another
You feel the blame's on you
So you sit and you fret and you wonder
Just what dark deed you did last year
To make all the snow on Christmas disappear

But the things that you learn in Sunday school
Will always hold their place
Like Jesus loves the children
Regardless of their race
And God is love, God is love
Yes, God is love, God is love

There are things you read in thе papers
But you can't be sure about what you rеad
Is it the way the story happened
Or what they think you need
There is so much propaganda these days
It gets, oh, so hard to sort it out
And you find that your constant companions
Are fear and doubt

But the things that you read in the Bible
Are liable to change your life
Like perfect love casts out all fear
Into the darkness has come a light
And God is love, God is love
Yes, God is love, God is love

Things change, seem strange, day to day
Things trite, just might be the way

There are sides for this
There are sides for that
From the left of the right
To the right of the right
There are so many methods of madness in this life
There is poison in our food and drink
There's poison in our breathing air
And the taxes on the places we live
Because we're living there

But in my personal pilgrimage
Several pure things I have found
Like a faith that keeps going upward
Instead of going round and round
And God is love, God is love
Yes, God is love, God is love
Yes, God is love, God is love
Yes, God is love, God is love, ooh...
