467   Life Is Great! So Sing About It




[1]
Life is great! So sing about it
As we can and as we should-
Shop and buses towns and people
Village farmland field and wood
Life is great and life is given;
Life is lovely free and good.

[2]
Life is great!- what ever happens
Snow or sunshine joy or pain
Hardship grief or disillusion
Suffering that I can t explain-
Life is great if someone loves me
Holds my hand and calls my name.

[3]
Love is great!- the love of lovers
Whispered words and longing eyes;
Love that gazes at the cradle
Where a child of loving lies;
Love that lasts when youth has faded
Bends with age but never dies.

[4]
Love is giving and receiving-
Boy and girl or friend with friend;
Love is bearing and forgiving
All the hurts that hate can send;
Love s the greatest way of living
Hoping trusting to the end.

[5]
God is great! in Christ He loved us
As we should but never can-
Love that suffered hoped and trusted
When disciples turned and ran
Love that broke through death forever.
Praise that loving living Man!
