A Common Love {Day 23: Common}




"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 are weary
A common hope for tomorrow
A common joy in the truth of God's word"
~Charles F. Brown


A common love
In a time of hate.
A common love
In a time of selfishness.
A common love 
In a time of fear.
This is what we need.

A common gift
Of compassion. 
A common gift 
Of kindness.
A common gift 
Of mercy.
This is what we must give.

A common bond
In peace.
A common bond
In forgiveness. 
A common bond
In grace.
This is what we must have.

A common strength 
In encouragement.
A common strength 
In honesty.
A common strength 
In prayer.
This is how we serve.

A common hope
To hold onto.
A common hope
To believe in.
A common hope 
In miracles.
This is how we overcome.

A common joy
In laughter.
A common joy
In God's beauty.
A common joy
In friendship.
This is what helps us push through.
