This is a wonderful song that gets directly to the point of this weeks lectionary readings. I wonder if any of really get it…
Can We Love.
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives.
It’s more than raising our hands
It’s more than singing this song
It’s saying yes to the giver of life
It’s righting the ways that are wrong
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives.
It’s more than singing His praise
It’s more than shouting God’s name
It’s bringing forgiveness to injuries wounds
And hope to those imprisoned by shame
Loving the Lord Our God
With all our heart, mind and soul
Loving our neighbor as ourselves
The kingdom of love we will know
With feet secure on the ground
And hearts humbled by love
You send before God’s anointed one
To ask a question
To ask a question
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives.
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down
We must lay down
We must lay down our lives.
