Give Yourself to Love

By Kate Wolf

Come friends all gather round
There’s something I would say
What brings us together here
As blessed as all today
Love has made a circle
that holds us all inside
Strangers are as family
Loneliness can die

You must give yourself to love,
If love is what you’re after
Open up your heart to the tears and laughter
Give yourself to love, give yourself to love

I walked these mountains in the rain,
I learned to love the wind,
Been up before the sunrise
To watch the day begin

I always knew I would find you
Though I never did know how
Like sunshine on a cloudy day,
You stand before me now

Give yourself to love, if love is what you’re after
Open your hearts to the tears and laughter
Give yourself to love, give yourself to love

Love is born in fire,
It’s planted like a seed
And love can’t give you everything
But it gives you what you need

And love comes when you are ready,
Love comes when you are afraid
It will be your greatest teacher,
The best friend you have made

Give yourself to love, if love is what you’re after
Open your hearts to the tears and laughter
Give yourself to love, give yourself to love

You must give yourself to love,
If love is what you’re after
Open up your heart to the tears and laughter
