“I Love” sung by Cliff Richard (click here to listen)
I love the English sky after long hot summer days
Like to run through the fields when they’ve finished making hay
Love meeting people that I’ve never met before
And I like it when my friends come knocking at my door, yeah
Oooh love the sky at night just to sit and count the stars
I like to mess around with bicycles and cars
Love to see the moon when it’s up and full
And I like it when a fish gives my line a pull
So it’s easy to see just how good You’ve been to me
Oh You made life’s mystery an open book for all to see
I love stone ground bread
And I like it when I get my breakfast in bed
Love little old ladies who make funny faces at brand new babies
So it’s easy to see just how good You’ve been to me
Oh You made life’s mystery an open book for all to see
I love St. Judy’s Comet
I love to break bread, I get a blessing from it
And I love to see a bible that’s been well used
‘Cos when a bible’s well used the devil’s not amused
So it’s easy to see just how good You’ve been to me
Oh You made life’s mystery an open book for all to see
So it’s easy to see just how good You’ve been to me
Oh You made life’s mystery an open book for all to see
Yeah yeah – anyone can read the book
Oh feel the long hot summer days – I love
I love – little old ladies who make funny faces at brand new babies
He made life’s mystery an open book for all to see
Love breaking bread – love a bible when it’s been well read
When it’s well used you know the devil’s not amused – I love
I love – I love – I love – love yeah – I love – I love – I love love
COMMENTS ON PREVIOUS SELECTION – “That’s Freedom”
You can bet Jesus would have had at least one song in his repertoire on freedom. The lyrics of this song leave a lot left for interpretation, because freedom is actually harder to define than one might imagine. The first real theology book I read was Jesus Means Freedom by Ernst Kasemann, (loaned to me by Rev. Bruce Barber) which, itself, was incredibly freeing for me, and started me on the path to ministry. Rather than repeat what is already written on this website, click here to see “Freedom” under “Words of the Word.”
