General (Vol. 2)
Amor Omnia Vincit
- ove is the supreme arbiter of all,
The heavenly court of last resort,
Metric of action;
Fashions in good and evil rise and fall
But what we do to strengthen and renew
Overrides faction:
To love both saint and sinner is the same;
He is our care, God's is to praise or blame. - Love is our statement of the ultimate,
Our whole estate incorporate,
Metric of giving;
Critique and teaching methods fluctuate,
We probe and preach beyond our reach
But love is living:
We may dispute the truth The Word imparts
But God discerns the meaning of our hearts. - Love is the underlying liberty,
The single source of valid force,
Metric of reason;
Time changes what we each define as free
But in the reign of force and pain
Love will not stoop to treason:
In solo and collective force love stands
Above each and the sum of God's commands.
