The beauty of a human touch lies in its tenderness,
And none can bar the Source of love that prompted it.
From deep within the soul of man comes love that God’s planted,
And stirs response within the heart that’s touched by it.
We touch because we care.
We care because of love.
And when, by faith,
We comprehend God’s love for us –
How much He cares,
We can’t help but love others,…
And show His love by caring.
Expressions of love differ from one person to the next,
And one might say, “I care”, in many different ways.
But love’s pow’r cuts through boundaries of status, race, or creed,
Cancels all doubt and fear and hurt – forgives and says:
“You are a part of me for we have one common Father;
You are a child of God who offers you His love!
He has given me so much that I can’t help but pass it on;
Now, let me share with you. Here, take my helping hand!”
“I share because I care, I care because of love.
And when, by faith I comprehend God’s love for me –
How much He cares,
I can’t help but love you, too,…
And show my love by caring.”
