Lyrics for A Love Supreme

Love Love is a sacred word Love is the name of God The entire universe is created with Love, by Love, and in Love Love is the beginning, Love is the continuation, and Love is the end Love for Lover's sake is divine It's constructive, it's beautiful It brings peace, it brings harmony, it brings joy To the lover and to the loved But if Love is based on selfishness, egoism, The very same love brings destruction Peace and harmony is based on love And used properly, by a selfless mind, for the benefit of the humanity Love knows no business Love knows no bargain Love never expects anything in return Love knows only giving, giving, and giving Without even waiting for a thank you Such a Love is the supreme One Let that Love Supreme reign over the Universe
