Living

Living
by Ivana Hill

Everyone wanders the world the same,
Desperate for love, but they’re ashamed,
So they just play those little games,
They don’t give their all cause they’re afraid.

Well life was made for living,
And love was made for giving,
So give your love away.
You don’t have to be afraid.

I found a braver way to live,
Step out and take each chance to give,
Find someone lonelier than me,
Give them the love that will set them free.

Cause life was made for living,
And love was made for giving,
So give your love away.
You don’t have to be afraid.

And when your heart breaks just the same,
Time to call on that simple name,
Love unending, love divine,
Jesus’ love so pure, so fine.

Give your heart into another’s open hands,
Though they may give it back He’s got a bigger plan.
It’s better to love and lose than never love at all,
It’s better to try and fail than to live afraid to fall.

Cause life was made for living,
And love was made for giving,
So give your love away.
You don’t have to be afraid.

So the next time you observe
A lonely heart, recall these words.
And as you give, you will receive,
Love will come home and never leave.

Cause life was made for living,
And love was made for giving,
So give your love away.
You don’t have to be afraid.
