Love is Strength

Love alone is great in might,
Makes the heavy burden light,
Smoothes rough ways to weary feet,
Makes the bitter morsel sweet;
Love alone is strength!

Might that is not born of Love
Is not Might born from above,
Has its birthplace down below
Where they neither reap nor sow;
Love alone is strength!

Love is stronger than all force,
Is its own eternal source;
Might is always in decay,
Love grows fresher every day;
Love alone is strength!

Little ones, no ill can chance;
Fear ye not, but sing and dance,
Though the high-heaved heaven should fall
God is plenty for us all;
God is Love and Strength!

George MacDonald

Hi Chris! Thanks so much for the comment, it was very encouraging to hear that you and others enjoyed the music. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I've been on away on a trip.

I've enjoyed reading some of your posts! It seems we share the same appreciation for Macdonald. I really love the heart he had for God, and for expressing God's character. Good stuff, looking forward to reading more!
