[Verse 1]
Build a home
Though it seems the world’s all sinking sand these days
Your foundation is the faith
That love endures always
Show forgiveness
When the world’s bitterly unkind
This clothes the naked
And clears the eyes of the blind

[Chorus]
Love, love is never wasted
It never stays in the ground

[Verse 2]
Show mercy to the outlaw
The stranger and the thief
For God came as an outlaw
To share our cup of grief
Love your enemy
And you will raise the dead
Feed the poor
And you’ll taste heaven’s bread

[Chorus]
Love, love is never wasted
It never stays in the ground
Love, love is never wasted
It never stays in the ground

[Verse 3]
Show your children
How to love when they are young
A seed will plant a forest
Before your days are done
Trade not your hope
To claim your scrap of earth
For the Kingdom is a mystery
Of death and then rebirth
