English Lyrics
Verse 1
Life is great! so sing about it, As we can and as we should- Shops and buses, towns and people, Village, farmland, field and wood. Life is great and life is given; Life is lovely free and good.
Verse 2
Life is great!- what ever happens, Snow or sunshine, joy or pain, Hardship, grief or disillusion, Suffering that I can't explain-Life is great if someone loves me, Holds my hand and calls my name.
Verse 3
Love is great!- the love of lovers, Whispered words and longing eyes; Love that gazes at the cradle Where a child of loving lies; Love that lasts when youth has faded, Bends with age, but never dies.
Verse 4
Love is giving and receiving-Boy and girl, or friend with friend; Love is bearing and forgiving All the hurts that hate can send; Love's the greatest way of living, Hoping, trusting to the end.
Verse 5
God is great! In Christ He loved us, As we should, but never can-Love that suffered, hope and trusted When disciples turned and ran, Love that broke through death for ever. Praise that loving, living Man!
