Let Your Love Be
By Paul McCann
Let your love be in me ,
like a natural thing .
Let your love be a flower.
Let it grow in me.
Love be a bird in my heart
with a song to sing .
Let your love be a desert
as dry as can be.
Let your love be the rain.
pouring down from the sky .
Let your love be a storm,
let it rise up in me.
Let your love be the sunshine
aglow in my eye .
Let your love be a rainbow
for the world to see.
Love be everywhere with me .
Love never die .
Love be here with me
wherever that place shall be.
