ANTHEM: You, Lord, Are Love by Carl MaultsBy; Mark Waters, tenor solo
You, Lord, are love; and everywhere your name so brightly shines. All over the earth, throughout the heavens, your love is for all times. Your ways are love; though they transcend our feeble human sight, they wind, through darkness, to their end in everlasting light. Your thoughts are love; and Jesus is the living voice they find. His love lights up the darkest night of the eternal mind. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come. Your love has brought me safe thus far; your love will lead me home. Your love, O God, transcends all time, times gone and time yet known. Your love will be forever mine. God, you are love. God is love. [James D. Burns & John Newton]
