Love is His Word

1. Love is His word, love is His way,
Feasting with all, fasting alone,
Living and dying, rising again,
Love, only love, is His way

Richer than gold is the love of my Lord,
Better than splendor and wealth.

2. Love is His way, love is His mark,
Sharing His last Passover feast,
Christ at the table, host to the twelve,
Love, only love, is His mark
3. Love is His mark, love is His sign,
Bread for our strength, wine for our joy,
"This is my body, this is my blood' –
Love, only love, is His sign:
4. Love is His sign, love is His news,
'Do this,' He said, 'lest you forget
All my deep sorrow, all my dear blood' –
Love, only love, is His news
