Love from Three Gifts by Liturgical Folk & Jon Guerra

In you, Lord, is our hope and faith; but of you is our love.
For one of these with you precedes the earth and stars above;
Yes, love was there in the beginning hov’ring as a dove.
And, long before despair and doubt made hope and faith to prove,
A holy triune dance of light and love was on the move.

From love all beauty, truth, and goodness to creation flow,
That you your image bearers may in pure relation know.
But soon impurity would make us from the garden go.
Until the final Adam shall another Eden sow:
A kingdom of forgiveness where we see salvation grow.

We’ve heard the great command to love you, Lord, and neighbor too,
But you have seen how difficult this is for us to do.
And so, our Savior Jesus Christ commanded something new:
To wash each other’s feet and love “just as I have loved you.”
By this they’ll know we’re of you, Lord; O may our love be true.
