“The Power of Love” – Leddy Hammock

Inspired by lyrics to “Love Is Everything” by Denise Rosier:
 
Love is the power that moves like the mighty sea, the peace that brings wars to cease. Love is everything.
 
Love is the voice that calls us into being. It’s the joy that makes a songbird sing, the word that every language speaks, the Name that is above all things.  
Love is everything.
 
Love can’t hide, be pushed aside, or be unseen.  
It’s you and me.  Love is everything.
 
Love stands beside us.  It goes before us. Love is everything.

It moves around us, it restores us.  Love is everything.
