I Know Love Is the Answer

I know love is the answer But what is the question In the world of today I can't help but keep asking Is it comforting a crying child Or giving a homeless man a hand Is it telling your brother no matter your color We can still be friends Is it helping out the widow When loneliness is all she sees Or nothing more than a simple smile When you pass someone on the streets Is it valuing that someone When they feel no need to live Or giving the last of what you've got When it's the last you've got to give Is it stepping out of your comfort zone To speak the loving truth All with the full knowledge That the world will turn it's back on you Is it proclaiming the name of Jesus That puts heads in a spin When he is love and he is the answer To all of life's questions
