On Thursday the 13th July at the Folk Cafe in Trinity Anne Clake sang this lovely song beautifully.
Love that Makes a Cup of Tea.
There is love that moves a mountain,
There is love that beats a drum,
There is love that fights for justice,
Knowing justice won’t be done.
There is love that goes to prison,
Love that goes to war,
There is love that rows a lifeboat,
Towards some shining golden shore.
And there is love that makes a cup of tea,
Asks how you’re doing,
And listens quietly,
Slips you twenty dollars….
When your rent’s behind
That’s the kind of love I hope you find.
There is love that shouts its name out loud,
Love that builds a wall,
But love that stoops to conquer,
Isn’t really love at all,
It’s an echo in the darkness,
It’s a well that can’t be filled,
It’s an endless hall of mirrors,
And it only sees itself
But there is love that makes a cup of tea,
Love that loves both who you are,
And who you wanna be,
Love that waits for you to fall behind,
That’s the kind of love I hope you find,
That’s the kind of love I hope you find.
Sometimes I wonder just how many cups of tea are made at various church functions. They are a great opportunity to talk with people and listen to them. This shared time may be the only time that a person gets the chance to talk to another human being. A cup of tea is such a simple way of sharing God’s love with another. Thank You Lord for our cups of love otherwise known as a cup of tea.
