Shirl loves singing this one, and our audiences almost never fail to pick up the chorus. We often start a show with this tune to set the mood for people to join us on a chorus whenever they can.

lyrics

Give Yourself to Love
By Kate Wolf © 1982 Another Sundown Publishing co. BMI
(Last verse by Shirl Lawrence)

Kind friends all gathered 'round, there's something I would say:
That what brings us together here has blessed us all today.
Love has made a circle that holds us all inside.
Where strangers are as family, loneliness can't hide.

So give yourself to love if love is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love.

I've walked these mountains in the rain and learned to love the wind;
I've been up before the sunrise to watch the day begin.
I've always knew I'd find you, though I never did know how;
Like sunshine on a cloudy day stand before me now.

So give yourself to love if love is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love.

Love is born in fire; it's planted like a seed.
Love can't give you everything, but it gives you what you need.
And love comes when you're ready, love comes when you're afraid;
It'll be your greatest teacher, the best friend you have made.

So give yourself to love if love is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love.

Two can start a chain of love together, hand in hand
Peace and understanding will reign throughout the land
Joy will come to others who take the time to care
And the love will grow collectively with more for us to share

So give yourself to love if love is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love.
