Memories of Love

What memories for you of love?

What dreams that you held close, now gone?

A story told, a man awaited, a brother lost in desert storms.

A meal together, a look of love.

These songs well sung

And wild roads walked.

But on a cross a poor man dies

No home or gold to ease his life

And on the cross a young man dies

An eternity from home and peace

And this poverty, these bleeding hands, this blessing touch

And words of compassion and hope and trust

Not locked away not turned to dust

But lived upon our broken streets

In embolden hearts now reaching out,

These to become memories of love.
