Lyrics

[00:28.94] In the beginning as life became form
[00:35.00] The oceans heaved the mountains were cleaved
[00:38.57] The firmament stormed
[00:41.19] At the center of being immensely small
[00:47.92] Was the Master now don't ask me how the love of it all
[00:54.67] And the seasons were many creation was new
[01:01.05] And there on a tree deceptively free a forbidden fruit
[01:07.34] Upon leaving the garden after the fall
[01:13.46]
[01:14.34] One thing was clear we chose not to hear the love of it all
[01:20.26]
[01:20.76] for But the love of it all I would go anywhere
[01:27.34]
[01:28.04] To the ends of the earth oh what is it worth if love would be there
[01:34.21] Walking the thin line between fear and the call
[01:40.27] One learns to bend and finally depend on the love of it all
[01:48.06]
[02:03.48] Irresistible targets I've heard someone say
[02:09.85] They were speaking of angels who are so courageous day after day
[02:16.27] Gunned down on a highway as we often recall
[02:23.09] I hear a scream I have a dream the love of it all
[02:28.96]
[02:29.51] Still the world is in labor she groans in travail
[02:36.43] She cries with the eagle the dolphin
[02:38.99] She sighs in the song of the whale
[02:42.80] While the heart of her people prays at the wall
[02:49.54] A spirit inside is preparing a bride for the love of it all
[02:55.53]
[02:56.15] For the Love of it all like the stars and the sun
[03:02.63]
[03:03.69] We are hearts on the rise separate eyes with the vision of one
[03:09.42] No valley too deep no mountain too tall
[03:15.97] We can turn back the night with merely the light of the love of it all
[03:21.65]
[03:22.96] And so we are marching to give peace a chance
[03:29.41] Brother and sister as one in this mystery dance
[03:39.41] Long ago on a hilltop where now the curious crawl
[03:45.66] Well a man on a cross paid the ultimate cost for the love of it all
[03:52.40] For the love of it all we are gathered by grace
[03:59.82] We have followed our hearts to take up our parts in this time and place
[04:05.75] Hands for the harvest we hear the centuries call
[04:11.86] It is still not too late to come celebrate the love of it all
[04:18.61] Eli eli lemana shabakthani
[04:22.11] The love of it all
