There's something in our being
Something that wants to love
Desire without reality
The very expression of
An attribute that's all divine
A virtue shown in man
Then God infused Himself as love
According to His plan
When love is perfected in us
We are perfected in love
We love because He first loved us
For we become the love
And the love becomes us
We're born to be His species
Born to be God's kind
Since God is love, we should be love
For love is God's design
It's not the tender feeling
Nor what love compels
It's not just merely that we love
But we are love itself
And we know
Perfect Love casts out all fear
In His love, love perfectly appears
Perfect Love casts out all fear
In His love, love perfectly appears
When love is perfected in us
We are perfected in love
We love because He first loved us
For we become the love
And the love becomes us
