I Will Love

Too many times I'm lead by emotion
And feelings that move like the wind
When my path meets with those, others see as unlovely
And I'm pushed beyond comfort again
As my selfish heart is exposed once more
Your Spirit whispers inside
Saying to live a life of Faith
Is daily to decide

I will love, for to follow Christ
Is to lay aside my right to choose
Who I will love for the least of these
The outcasts and enemies let me do what You'd do
For in loving them, I will love You

What's gained if I'm kind to others who love me
My sacrifice will be repaid
It seems I can't escape the truth You're revealing
That to love means to give my life away
There are holy moments that wait for me
So many times each day
In every chance encounter
With the ones You send my way

I will love, for to follow Christ
Is to lay aside my right to choose
Who I will love for the least of these
The outcasts and enemies let me do what You'd do
For in loving them, yes, in loving them
For in loving them, I will love You

For to follow Christ
Is to lay aside my right to choose
Who I will love for the least of these
The outcasts and enemies let me do what You'd do
For in loving them, I will love You, oh, Lord
Yes, in loving them, I will love You
