SCROLL DOWN FOR LYRICS

This is another track from my album 'Growing in God', which I tried to make my most useful all-age collection for Liturgy and Religious Education.

This recording includes a primary school choir, but on other tracks an adult choir is featured. Sometimes, adult and children's choirs sing on the same track.

Resources: The ‘Growing in God’ CD and Music Book are available through my online store. Also, pdf music for this song only. Links to these items will be found further down this page.

lyrics

LOVE IS MY ONLY LAW
INTRO:
One day they asked him - Jesus tell,
Of all commandments which is the greatest?
And this was the answer that he gave to them.
Listen, for the law of God is here:

CHORUS:
With all your heart, with all your mind
With all your strength to love,
To love the Lord your God,
To love your neighbour as yourself.
With all your heart, with all your mind
With all your strength to love,
To love your neighbour as yourself
And love the Lord your God.

1. This is my only law - hear what I say.
Only remember this: Love is the way.
Love is my only law. Love is the way. CHORUS

2. When Crosses come to you, darken the day
Only remember this: Love is the way.
Love is my only law. Love is the way. CHORUS.

3. This is my only law - hear what I say.
Only remember this: Love is the way.
Love is my only law. Love is the way.
