All we hold is frail and brief
Patched together by belief
The pattern only partially
Revealed for us to see
What are tears but seeds we sow?
In fields unseen such harvest grow
Whose joys will one day overflow
The measure of our grief

REFRAIN
If God is love
Then love we trust
Is strong enough to hold our sorrow
If God is love
He carries us

We will not fear what comes tomorrow
Love will heal us
For God is love
Then suffering's no enemy
And poverty, no poverty
And death our greatest victory
When swallowed up in life

REFRAIN

Though sorrow surge at every step
Yet goodness is assured
For non that harms or troubles here
Will speak the final word
Love speaks the final word

REFRAIN

God is love
