To Love Our God

To love our God, to love our God. The reason that we live is to love our God. Listening to this song striked a chord deep within me, not only through its harmonious blends and expressive dynamics, but also through the starking simplicity of its lyrics.

What is our purpose in life but to love God? Nothing!

So may we learn to love God wholeheartedly and wholemindedly, by devoting our all and doing our best in every aspect of life - work, play, study, service, relationship, even hobby and spare time - for Him and His glory alone.

To Love Our God
By Mark Hayes. Arranged by Mark Hayes. Text: John Parker. For SAB Choir.

Where does the wind come from?
Where does it go?
Blowing north and south
How does it know?

Oh, where does the wind come from?
Oh, where does it go?
Blowing north and south
How does it know?

The rain flows gently to the sea
Yet the sea is never full
How can these things be?
How can these things be?
How can they be?

Humanity works hard to make a name
Toiling in the sun yet nothing gained
We all return to dust from whence we came
All is empty
All is vain

To love our God
The reason we live
To love our God
The highest call

Nothing satisfies our soul
Gives life meaning, makes us whole
For this purpose we were made
To love our God
To love our God
The reason that we live is to love our God

To love our God
The reason we live
To love our God
The highest call

Nothing satisfies our soul
Gives life meaning, makes us whole
For this purpose we were made
To love our God
To love our God
To love our God!
