We Believe in Love

We believe in Love.

We believe the world turns at God’s will,
and not the whim of earthly fashion.
We believe that every pain and ill
opens the door for more compassion.
We believe no sin is too immense
for pure forgiveness to transform.
We believe in mercy pouring hence:
grace comes to still the wildest storm.
We believe in Love.

We believe one man held back the tide
of sin by striving to make peace.
We believe the love he had inside,
meant that the cycle once could cease.
We believe he hung upon the cross
to make an end to all our sin.
We believe in victory out of loss;
He rose, and calls us to begin.
