May I love like You oh Lord

With a love surpassing all

Given freely, from a caring heart

As an answer to Your call

For Your love lives in me as life itself

Deep within my inmost being

And comes alive in my very hands

When I feel what I’m seeing

May I love like You oh Lord

With a love from deep within

Given to all and everyone I meet

From when our relationships begin

For Your love lives in me as life itself

Received first upon my creation

And grows each time it’s freely given

Every time or place in life’s station

May I love like You oh Lord

With a love forgiving and true

Showing its depth and breadth

In what I say and what I do

For Your love lives in me as life itself

Given to me to be given again

In supply always beyond my need

To be shared with my fellow men

May I love like You oh Lord

Giving myself to my brother

Sacrificing myself to his need

Sharing myself with another

For Your love lives in me as life itself

As a gift undeserved but true

To comfort and guide our human way

To join our hearts eternally to You

You have shown Your love since creation

Throughout all ages in sign and deed

Even sending Your Son as Love Himself

To assure that we’d be freed

In You love truly lives

Let me truly live love
