Track 5: "The Word Is Love, Somehow"

I was walking among tourists at a beach town, when this song started to come to me. I realized that I didn't know all these people but God did. Years later I added more verses.

Lyrics

The Word Is Love, Somehow

© 2007 Michele Fairbairn

In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was God
And God is Love,
So the Word is . . .

There’s a lot of people here,
Somehow.
There’s a lot of people here.
I don’t know how.
They’re not the same,
And much too much for me to name,
Somehow.
There’s a lot of people here,
Somehow.
There’s a lot of people here
I do not know.

But,
Somehow,
Everywhere I go
I feel that Someone
Who really, really
Does know
All,
Somehow.

And they’re a lot of creatures here,
Somehow.
They’re a lot of creatures here.
I don’t know how.
They’re big and small,
And much too much for me to call,
Somehow.
They’re a lot of creatures here,
Somehow.
They’re a lot of creatures here
I cannot call.

But
Somehow
Everywhere they fall
They can hear that Someone
Who really, really
Does call.
And they hear
All
Somehow . . .

So, we’re a lot of people here,
Somehow.
We’re a lot of people here.
I don’t know how.
We search for love,
But don’t seem to know what it’s made of,
Somehow.
We’re a lot of people here,
Somehow.
We’re a lot of people here,
Searching for love.

But
Somehow
Beneath, around, above,
We can feel that Someone,
Who really, really
IsLove,
Who loves us
All
Somehow . . .

In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was God
And God is Love,
So the Word is . . .

Say, what’s that Word?
Did I hear you say
Love.
Let me hear you say
Love.
Somehow . . .
