Anne Maree Higgins fabulous pop song “Mission to Love” is No 95 in AOV NG. The sugar coating does not disguise the hard message of verse two. I’m sure it would work as entrance, gifts and recessional at least. My backing is pure MIDI I’m afraid and as is frequently the case does not do the song justice. You can hear the proper version at her Myspace page.
Verse 1
Love is the greatest gift, that we can give, that never fails.
Love’s meant to lead the way, to stretch our hearts, to make a change.
We know the spirit’s present when we put selfish ways aside.
We give God’s life to others when we can go the extra mile.
And everyone will see that
Refrain
Now our love will be forever,
A mission of love, a mission of love.
And now our love will last a lifetime, a mission of love.
You’re the centre of our lives.
Verse 2
Love’s not for holding back or loving those that love you too.
It’s not enough to say that good things come to those who wait.
Show mercy to the hostile, do good to those who wouldn’t care,
Make peace with old resentments, talk to the hardest hearts and share.
And everyone will see that
Refrain
