Love is more than a general feeling of affection. It creates a spiritual connection between people, and it calls for action. There are two scriptures referenced in this song. The first is the Jesus’ last supper with his disciples before his crucifixion found in John 13-15. The second is from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:43-48.
lyrics
LYRICS:
Connected; We are connected.
We all share one heart;
Only hate tears us apart.
Abiding in our soul,
Only love makes us whole.
Love makes us all connected.
Many times, people aren’t aware.
This whole world is here for us to share.
If we open our eyes and our hearts
We will see that we’re not far apart.
Connected; We are connected.
We all share one heart;
Only hate tears us apart.
Abiding in our soul,
Only love makes us whole.
Love makes us all connected.
Thursday evening, Jesus told his friends,
“Abide in me, and I’ll be with you through the end.
Love each other as I have loved you
And they’ll see that the Good News is true.”
Connected; We are connected.
We all share one heart;
Only hate tears us apart.
Abiding in our soul,
Only love makes us whole.
Love makes us all connected.
It’s to easy to love those who love me.
And it’s a challenge to love our enemies.
The one who saves us sends sun upon us all
And the rain falls on the great and the small.
