A Common Love

A common love for each other,
A common gift to the Saviour,
A common bond holding us to the Lord;
A common strength when we're weary,
A common hope for tomorrow,
A common joy in the truth of God's Word.

In His family, we can meet each one's needs,
We can light each one's path, for each other we plead;
As His children, we can comfort each care,
We can build each one's faith,
We can serve, we can share.

In His family, all the love that we show,
All the help that we give, all the joy we bestow;
As His children, they're an offering we make,
Not expecting return,
Just a gift for His sake.

A common love for each other,
A common gift to the Saviour,
A common bond holding us to the Lord;
A common strength when we're weary,
A common hope for tomorrow,
A common joy in the truth of God's Word.
