5. Song of Community
(capo 2)
C
Am
F
C
Well weave a love that greens sure as spring,
Em
Am
Dm
G
Then deepens in summer to the fall autumn brings,
C
Em
F
C
Resting still in winter to spiral again,
F
C
G
C
Together, my friends, well weave on, well weave on.
Refrain:
Am
Em
A love that heals, friend, that bends friend,
F
C
G
That rising and turning then yields, friend.
Am
Em

Like the mountain to rain or frost in the spring,
C
Em
Am
Or darkness that turns with the dawn,
C
Em
Am
F
Its by turning, turning, turning, my friend,
C
F
C
By turning that love moves on.
Well weave a love that opens our eyes,
To see one another beyond all disguise,
Where our trust like water will wash away lies,
Together, my friends, well weave on, well weave on.
Well weave a love that touches our pain,
That comes like the water to drought-fevered plains,
So the roots, once withered, sing praise to the rain,
Together, my friends, well weave on, well weave on.
Well weave a love that holds the despised,
The stranger who wanders, the focus of lies,
Well stand sure as mountains with Earths victimized,
Together, my friends, well weave on, well weave on.
Well weave a love with roots growing deep,
And sap pushing branches to wake from their sleep,
Bearing leaves burnt amber with mornings full sweep,
Together, my friends, well weave on, well weave on.

(Em A G D)
Til by turning, turning we come round right.
The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof,
Its streets, its slums, as well as stars above.
Salvation is here where we laugh, where we cry,
Where we seek and love, where we live and die.
When true liberty is found,
By fear and by hate we will no more be bound,
In love and in life we will find a new birth,
In peace and in freedom redeem the earth.

We have been sung through out all of history,
Called to be light to the whole human race.
Gather us in, the rich and the haughty,
Gather us in, the proud and the strong;
Give us a heart so meek and so lowly,
Give us the courage to enter the song.
Here we will take the wine and the water,
Here we will take the bread of new birth,
Here you shall call your sons and your daughters,
Call us anew to be salt for the earth.
Give us to drink the wine of compassion,
Give us to eat the bread that is you;
Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion,
Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.

The Lord of Love has come to me, I want to pass it on.

A Bm
A7 riff
Just as we are,
surely we are free,
For the slow action of love,
Each heart held in a community of hands,
And the slow action of love,
Is calling me, inviting me to stand,
For the slow action of love,
Breath of God like a whisper a wave,
The slow action of love,
Words of hope become our songs of praise,
*A7 riff: The riff is a little slide up the neck. Start with a two finger A7, then slide up to an Am7
shape on the third/fourth fret (the two notes held down are the D on the B string and the F# on
the D string), then slide up again to a two-finger A7 shape on the fifth fret (the two notes held
down are the E on the B string and the G on the D string). There you go!
