Life

Somewhere out in empty space Long before the human race Something stirred A vast and timeless source began Intelligence was born and then There was the word Powers filled the universe Matter formed and broke the curse of nothingness Love became an ageless soul Nature reached her highest goal And breathed the breath of life Everlasting life Well, creatures come from out of sight Daylight came from in the night And all was good Life became a master plan Love produced a perfect man That understood The image of the Maker's word Worshiped him with all he had But then one day From in the depths an evil seed Grew and manufactured greed Changed the way of life Everlasting life Oh, the loving power looked and saw Inside the heart of man a flaw began to grow Well, the fires of Hell began to burn And so He sent his chosen son To let us know That love had surely made us all And hate would surely make us fall So from the cross Well, He showed the world that dreadful day That love could be the only way Or all is lost of life Everlasting life For life is love And love is life
