I.
There is no place love cannot go,
No boundary to high to cross.
No barrier can stand in its way
When easing pain and loss.
*
There is no color love can see
When it looks into a life.
There is no heart love cannot reach,
No matter what’s causing the strife.
*
There are no lines drawn on a map
In some political tower
That will keep out, in any way,
Love’s healing strength and power.
*
There are no words which can stop love
Or cause permanent dismay,
For love will triumph, what ‘ere the cost,
And come through, what ‘ere the way.
*
The power of love is a simple thing:
No matter how high seems the cost
Of going out in all the world
And caring of the lonely and lost.
II.
I’ve rarely heard of hearts too hard
And roads that have been too far trod
Who will not yield, to the last part,
To the healing love of God.
*
The love of God is best expressed
Through Jesus on the Cross.
As the Holy One suffered for our sin
In the agony of His undeserved loss.
*
God never suffers anything
To be between He and those He loves.
If a barrier, He breaks it down.
If a wall, a wall He moves.
*
There is no difference in God’s love
And in the love He has to impart.
It rushes from His throne to our lives,
Then from us to others, heart to heart.
*
God’s love contains the power,
And yielding is the key
That breaks down every barrier
In setting other hearts free.
III.
Seek out love and find it,
And then give it away.
For it is within the giving
We receive more than we can repay.
*
Let hope be your helper
When discouragement harasses love.
For hope and love give strength we need
Every barrier we see to move.
*
Love beckons with a challenge,
Calling all to take a part,
To spread its healing power
To at least one other hurting heart.
*
Love isn’t just a way of helping,
Or a means through which we give.
Loving is meant as our center and purpose.
Love’s power, our reason to live.
