Love As You Are Loved
I happen to be a follower of someone who preached about love and forgiveness but, even though I have strong conviction, presenting a straight up faith song to a predominantly secular audience isn’t something that’s easy for me to do. And, maybe because it is a spiritual song it won’t get many listeners or any votes for that matter, but I don’t care about the latter, I just hope that you can set religion aside and give it a listen for the quality of the song and the overall theme which is way more important than wether or not you believe in some omnipresent deity. This is my #lovesongchallenge entry. I hope you like it, Love As You Are Loved.
“Are we here to share our love or are we just passing by?
Nothing is too much to give and nothings too little to try.
Even if you don’t believe in a gracious God above.
You can’t deny the words Christ shared. We are better off with love.”
— Bob
Hi Bob, I love the early sixties folk scene feel of the song. Lovely melody and the song structure works really well. Your voice is great. The lyrics are clear and convey what you want them to. Good song.
What a great performance, simple structure and as James said the lyrics get your message across. Well done.
Lovely song well performed. Good clear vocal, nice guitar accompaniment. Well done for having the ‘courage of your convictions’ in sharing your song
Very nice!
Wonderful guidance wrapped inside a beautiful song. Lovely, gentle vocals, like being wrapped cotton wool while listening.
We are most definitely better off with love. It’s a lovely song, sensitively performed.
Nice song – It’s heartfelt rather than preachy. I like it !

Lovely Bob. Easy to listen to and heartfelt lyrics and pretty tune. The world would be a far better place if we all loved as we are loved.
I think that’s great Bob! Enjoyed it. It’s good to have that take in the theme added to the mix and you do it really well.
Lovely message…
It’s a gentle, heartfelt song, Bob, and you perform it beautifully. “Love as you are loved” is a universal theme.
Great song and sentiment. Makes a good change from the personal. I agree wholeheartedly in the lyrics 😇
Thank you everyone for your comments and voting for my song!
