Lyrics
The Circle of Love
In the beginning was the Circle of Love
Connecting the Father, the Spirit and Son
A beautiful dance of mutual trust
A constant outpouring of friendship and love
The circle expanded when Jesus came down
He let go of his right to a heavenly crown
He came as a Servant, he came as a Friend
He came to give life, not to condemn
Pre-chorus 1
The circle of love includes you and me
Amazing grace so free
The circle is always expanding
So kind and never demanding
Chorus
We are standing in the circle of love, amazing grace so free
Standing in the circle as one, one love, one family
Verse 2
Jesus grew up in a poor family,
He humbled himself so all could be free
No one was left out, no one was forgotten
He came to help the downtrodden
The life of the Son flowed with compassion
Embracing the lonely, the widow and orphan
The hungry were fed, the sick were healed
And everyone knew he was real
Pre-chorus 2 & 3
The circle of love includes you and me
Amazing grace so free
The circle is always expanding and never demanding
Verse 3
His kingdom was not a political thing
He was one of a kind, a suffering king
His weapons were love and the power of prayer
To lift the oppressed from the pit of despair
The Son showed his love through death on a cross
He weeps with us now as we suffer loss
His table, a gift of his body and blood
He’s inviting us all to his Circle
