How it matters

“Love never fails….”
-1 Cor. 13:8a (NAS)


Here’s another song…


Why It Matters

Sit with me and tell me once again
Of the story that’s been told us,
Of the power that will hold us,
Of the beauty, of the beauty,
Why it matters.

Speak to me until I understand
Why our thinking and creating,
And our efforts of narrating,
About the beauty, of the beauty,
Why it matters.

Like a statue in the park
Of this war torn town,
And it’s protest of the darkness
And this chaos all around.
With its beauty, how it matters,
How it matters.

Show me a love that never fails,
Some compassion and attention,
Midst confusion and dissention,
Like small ramparts for the soul,
How it matters.
Like a single cup of water,
How it matters.

-Sara Groves, Add to the Beauty
