Service & Love
10 songs
Worship songs about loving people in action — feeding His sheep, putting down the stones, and showing up instead of looking away.
These songs measure love by what we do. “If Not You Then Who” began with a story told at a funeral about picking up what everyone else walks past. “I Hear It Now” is about promptings — when someone’s name comes to mind and the Spirit says reach out (D&C 8:2). “Love Me By Love” comes from twenty years as a ward mission leader, and “To Give” from volunteering at the Giving Machines. Each song has its lyrics and the story behind it.
