[00:29.36] In the beginning, as life became form,
[00:35.60] The oceans heaved, the mountains were cleaved,
[00:38.91] The stormed.firmament
[00:41.96] At the center of being, immensely small
[00:47.44]
[00:48.94] Was the master of now, dont ask me how
[00:51.88]
[00:52.50] love The of it all
[00:53.39]
[00:55.40] And the seasons were many.
[00:57.06]
[00:58.83] Creation was new.
[01:00.35]
[01:02.17] And there on a tree
[01:05.16] A forbidden fruit
[01:07.68]
[01:08.56] Upon leaving the garden, after the fall,
[01:14.33]
[01:15.53] One thing was clear; we chose not to hear
[01:18.99] The love of it all
[01:20.12]
[01:21.89] But for the love of it all
[01:23.46]
[01:25.79] I would go anywhere.
[01:27.53]
[01:29.10] To the ends of the earth,
[01:31.65] What is it worth if love would be there?
[01:34.60]
[01:35.54] Walking the thin line between fear and the call
[01:40.00]
[01:41.98] One learns to bend and finally depend
[01:45.22] On the love of it all
[01:46.54]
[02:04.85] Irresistible targets
[02:07.02]
[02:08.41] I heard someone say.
[02:10.29]
[02:11.68] They were speaking of angels
[02:13.69] Who are so courageous day after day
[02:17.09]
[02:18.22] Gunned down on a highway we often
[02:23.76]
[02:25.27] I hear a scream; have I a dream
[02:28.04]
[02:28.55] The love of it all
[02:29.94]
[02:31.45] Still the world is in labor,
[02:33.66]
[02:34.85] groans She in travail.
[02:37.06]
[02:38.12] She cries with the eagle, the dolphin,
[02:40.84] She sighs in the song of the whale.
[02:43.35]
[02:44.61] While the heart of her people
[02:46.63]
[02:48.45] Prays at the wall.
[02:50.09]
[02:51.60] spirit A inside is preparing a bride
[02:54.89] For the love of it all
[02:56.28]
[02:58.04] For the love of it all,
[02:59.73]
[03:02.01] Like the stars and the sun,
[03:03.77]
[03:05.21] We are hearts on the rise,
[03:07.42] Separate eyes with the vision of one.
[03:10.50]
[03:11.20] No valley too deep, no mountain too tall,
[03:16.07]
[03:17.83] We can turn back the night with merely the light
[03:21.01] From the love of it all.
[03:22.65]
[03:24.73] And so we are marching to give peace a chance
[03:30.12]
[03:31.51] Brother and sister as one in this mystery dance.
[03:36.55]
[03:41.03] Long ago on a hilltop where now the curious crawl
[03:46.19]
[03:48.08] A man on a cross paid the ultimate cost
[03:51.22] For the love of it all
[03:52.79]
[03:54.37] For the love of it all
[03:56.07]
[03:58.46] We are gathered by grace
[04:00.28]
[04:01.67] We have followed our hearts
[04:03.41] To take up our parts
[04:05.37] In this time and place.
[04:06.94]
[04:07.95] Hands for the harvest,
[04:09.21]
[04:10.77] Hear the centuries call:
[04:12.60]
[04:13.98] It is still not too late to come celebrate
[04:16.94]
[04:17.51] The love of it all
[04:19.02]
[04:20.65] Eli, eli, lemana shabakthani
[04:23.91] The love of it all
