Works of Love

Original song inspired by Søren Kierkegård

The calm lake stems from springs so deep

A man who loves with depth can’t sleep

And no eye saw that darkly ground

Deceitful means can seem profound

Oh, my love, What have we done?

Like Golden thread our life is spun

The bonds we make to quell our fear

Will spring forth life and make this clear:

A Man

Who wills

The Good

In Truth

Must give

all that

he’s worth

In works

Of love.

He bears

The sweetest fruit

The sweet

Oh, my love, What have we done?

Your hair is grey and mine, a bun.

In searching for that hidden spring

Round quiet lake we’d freely sing:

A Man

Who wills

The Good

In Truth

Must give

all that

he’s worth

In works

Of love.

He bears

The sweetest fruit

The sweet

The calm lake stems from springs so deep

A man who lies with death can’t speak

Reflecting on his life he sees

The pure of heart will live eternally.

Oh, my love, What have we done?

Like Golden thread our life is spun

The darkness in our hearts will heal

And through our faith He will reveal

These works

Of Love

Have sown

In us

With roots

So green

So strong

So deep

They’ve reached

The hidden spring

And beared us fruit

The sweetest fruit

The sweet
