All God Does Is Love

Since God is love, all that He does is love,
so, Lord, it’s love--all that You do to me,
it is God’s love we’re at the mercy of,
Your love, O Lord, has planned my destiny.

His love’s our crown of thorns, our nail and cross,
You scourge me, Lord, with daily aches and pains,
God sends both sun and rain, He is the boss,
but if I ask, You break my sinful chains.

God’s loving cross is only for our good,
the load You give me, Lord, is light and true,
God leads us but to do the things we should,
I take both love and cross and follow You.

I’ll walk Your path, Lord, in this vale of tears,
Your love will win in just a few more years.
