For The Love Of It All (Lifelines Live Version)歌词

作词 : Noel Paul Stookey
作曲 : Noel Paul Stookey
In the beginning as life became form
The oceans heaved the mountains were cleaved
The firmament stormed
At the center of being immensely small
Was the Master now don't ask me how the love of it all
And the seasons were many creation was new
And there on a tree deceptively free a forbidden fruit
Upon leaving the garden after the fall

One thing was clear we chose not to hear the love of it all

for But the love of it all I would go anywhere

To the ends of the earth oh what is it worth if love would be there
Walking the thin line between fear and the call
One learns to bend and finally depend on the love of it all

Irresistible targets I've heard someone say
They were speaking of angels who are so courageous day after day
Gunned down on a highway as we often recall
I hear a scream I have a dream the love of it all

Still the world is in labor she groans in travail
She cries with the eagle the dolphin
She sighs in the song of the whale
While the heart of her people prays at the wall
A spirit inside is preparing a bride for the love of it all

For the Love of it all like the stars and the sun

We are hearts on the rise separate eyes with the vision of one
No valley too deep no mountain too tall
We can turn back the night with merely the light of the love of it all

And so we are marching to give peace a chance
Brother and sister as one in this mystery dance
Long ago on a hilltop where now the curious crawl
Well a man on a cross paid the ultimate cost for the love of it all
For the love of it all we are gathered by grace
We have followed our hearts to take up our parts in this time and place
Hands for the harvest we hear the centuries call
It is still not too late to come celebrate the love of it all
Eli eli lemana shabakthani
The love of it all
