How Love Comes (Gloria)

Only love would choose and flesh and bone
 Choose the unknown
 To be one of us
 Only love would lose without gain
 Bruise without blame
 To be one of us
 Oh, to limp, to cry, to walk beside us in the struggle
 Oh, to break, to mend, to stoop to bend where we are huddled
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love comes
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love comes
 (Glo-o-ria-a)
 This is how love wins
 Keep coming still
 Only love would rise and fall
 Rulers and walls
 Could not hold us
 In the arms of
 A refugee girl
 Her brown baby's curl
 Just to show us
 To seek, to find, to shine a light into the corner
 To name, to bless, and carry us across the border
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love comes
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love comes
 (Glo-o-ria-a)
 This is how love wins
 Keep coming still
 Oh-o-o-o-ohh
 Ever patient, ever kind
 Love will not be undermined
 Heal the brokenhearted
 Love will finish what it started
 Love will not be used a cord
 Or dare to inflict one more bruise
 Love is never self-inflated
 Love will not be elevated
 Love is small and love is naked
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love co-omes
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love co-omes
 (Glo-o-ria-a)
 This is how love wins
 Keep coming still
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love comes
 (Glo-o-ria)
 This is how love co-o-omes
 (Glo-o-ria-a)
 This is how love wins
 Keep coming still
 Keep coming
 Keep coming still
