“ THIS IS WHAT THE MASTER TOLD ”
Words and Music by Keith McGavern

I don’t see why you must know
Everything that comes and goes.
Life has always been to me
Something that will always be.

Love the Lord with all your heart
Love each neighbor for a start.
Love each creature young and old
This is what the Master told.

I don’t hear what you say
Of all your problems come what may.
Whimpering and fussing won’t bring about
The kind of love that will make you shout.

Love the Lord with all your heart
Love each neighbor for a start
Love each creature young and old
This is what the Master told.

I don’t taste the bitter lies
That come from stories and alibis
Don’t you know there’s only one thing
To explain all these happenings.

Love the Lord with all your heart
Love each neighbor for a start.
Love each creature young and old
This is what the Master told.

I don’t smell all that looms
Anger and hate and other fumes
Behold the world as it is
Learn to love and learn to give.

Love the Lord with all your heart
Love each neighbor for a start.
Love each creature young and old
This is what the Master told.
