LOVE IS A VERB

Snippet

I choose love. No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness, I choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves.  Max Lucado

Scripture

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[g] and hate your enemies.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you.[h] 45 If you do this, you will be true children of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on good people and on evil people, and he sends rain to those who do right and to those who do wrong. 46 If you love only the people who love you, you will get no reward. Even the tax collectors do that. 47 And if you are nice only to your friends, you are no better than other people. Even those who don’t know God are nice to their friends. 48 So you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48 NCV

LUV IS A VERB DC TALK

http://youtu.be/WRfFuhrdGKM

(Take this mark for a ride)

Boom! Burn! Bip! Yeah! Pow! Hey, ha ha.

Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

Pullin' out my big black book

Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look

So I move to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry

Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry

I looked again but to my dismay

It was black and white with no room for grey

Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond my word

And yo that's when it hit me, that luv is a verb

[chorus 1]

Words come easy but don't mean much

When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in

We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light

And if we all learn to love it would be just right

[chorus 2]

Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?

Luv is a serious word

Hey, I think it's time ya learned

I don't care what you say

I don't care care what ya heard

The word luv, luv is a verb

Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

Thinkin' of a way to explain-o

Cause ya' know when I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drano

Simple and plain, L-O-V-E

Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV

Put soaps on a rope cause they ain't worth copin' with

It's a myth that there ain't no hope and

Luv is enough if it's unconditionally

Givin' now you're living out the Great Commission

[repeat choruses 1 and 2]

Back in the day there was a man

Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land

He delivered to the people an eternal choice

With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice

Gave up His life so that we may live

How much more luv could the Son of God give?

Here is the example that we oughta be matchin'

Cause luv is a word that requires some action

[repeat chorus 1]

[repeat chorus 2 x4]
