But the beauty of the Lord is everywhere and the love of the Lord seen and evidenced through other people everywhere and anywhere.
Just as the sunshine will meet and greet you anywhere, love will meet you and greet you anywhere you go.
People wouldn't travel as extensively as they do if they didn't hope to experience a little bit of love in their travels. This is to where the world opens up itself to the individual with new and fresh signs of love.
Love is everywhere and the call is to extol and praise the Lord and his faithfulness throughout all lands and all peoples.
All people are joined together and united in this thread of love and the call to love.
Through the lowlands and the highlands, through every corner of the earth you can find love.
Psalm 119
verses 63 and 64 read as follows from the NIV version of the Bible:63 I am a friend to all who fear you,
to all who follow your precepts.
64 The earth is filled with your love, O LORD;
teach me your decrees.
The earth is filled with the love of the Lord and there is a unity of friendship with all who follow this love.
Just as the great oceans are filled with what seems like an unending amount of water, so the earth is filled with an unending amount of love.
In 1967 the Beatles released a relatively short song that fits beautifully with the theme of this psalm.
The title of the song is All You Need Is Love and the song speaks of the unifying presence of love to all.
The lyrics read as follows:
All You Need Is Love lyrics
Songwriters: McCartney, Paul; Lennon, John;
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
There's nothing you can make that can't me made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love, all together now
All you need is love, everybody
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
.
The theme that runs through these wonderful lyrics is that love will reveal.
Love will be shown, it will be known, and it will be revealed in endless ways.
Because of love the traveler can say what is said in this Beatles," There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
it's easy"
The easy and sublime presence of love is everywhere and is meant to be everywhere and for everyone.
Because of love everyone can be saved. Because of love everyone can make it.
Because of love you can learn how to be you in time for love and all that goodness that is meant for you.
All you need is the love of the Lord, love is all you need.
