Years ago when I was serving at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church in Houston, Texas my high school choir sang a wonderful song – “Take Time For Love” – composed by Linda Spevacek. I still have wonderful feelings about this song and the memories created by that high school choir.
Today – I simply offer the text with great gratitude to Linda Spevacek and the inclusive nature of the language of love:
One day when I was dreaming, searching for my own happiness,
I heard a voice cry out, “You’re such a fool, you need to take time, take time for love.”
Take time to care for someone, take time to lend a helping hand,
never wait until tomorrow, for now’s the right time, right time for love.
Someday when you are lonely, someday when friends are gone,
reach out and help a stranger, and soon you’ll find you are feeling good like you’ve never felt before!
Take time for understanding, take time for tender caring, take time to share your feelings,
you need to take time, take time for love.
