Compelled by Love

Compelled by love,
Called to serve wherever there are souls in need.
Compelled by love,
Called to find the lonely and the lost.
Touched by God’s grace,
I’ll love where hearts are hurting.
How can I offer less than all
When I am born again by his forgiving?
I’m compelled by love.
 
Compelled by love,
Called to toil wherever there are mouths to feed.
Compelled by love,
Called to work where life is at its worst.
Moved by God’s grace,
I’ll prove that I am willing.
How can I offer less than all
When his love fills my heart, my spirit thrilling?
I’m compelled by love.
 
Compelled by love,
Called to follow Christ no matter where he leads.
Compelled by love,
Called to give and not to count the cost.
Filled with God’s grace,
I’ll lead a life worth living.
How can I offer less than all
When I am made anew by his infilling?
His love calls me, his love claims me,
I’m compelled by love.
