Love Knocks and Waits for Us to Hear
Author: Daniel Charles Damon, 1955- Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love knocks and waits for us to hear,
to open and invite;
Love longs to quiet every fear,
and seeks to set things right.
2 Love offers life, in spite of foes
who threaten and condemn;
embracing enemies, Love goes
the second mile with them.
3 Love comes to heal the broken heart,
to ease the troubled mind;
without a word Love bids us start
to ask and seek and find.
4 Love knocks and enters at the sound
of welcome from within;
Love sings and dances all around,
and feels new life begin. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Men and Women; Courage and Hope; General Service Music; Love and Compassion; Sorrow, Grief, and Loss; Special Occasions; Unity and Diversity Used With Tune: ANGELS' CAMP
