God Fashioned Love
SATB and organ. Wow! Lush and dramatic setting of a wonderful text by Linda Muehlig (Carol's sister). Baritone or other solo in the middle. Easy for choirs and a perennial favorite!
God fashioned love and gave it as a gift
For each to share and give again,
That through all generations love might sift
As wheat from chaff to make an increase of the best,
That time and wind might have the rest.
God fashioned love and gave from heaven's store
For each to share and give again,
That through all generations love might pour
As wine from water by a miracle can pass,
That every hand might take the glass.
God fashioned love and gave it mankind's cast
For each to share and give again,
That through all generations love might last
As Christ is born in every child God gives,
So love, though yet all die, shall live.
