Speed of Love

She gets up at 6 in the morning and drives to the kitchen

Where the hungry hearts…gather

She’ll fill your plate and say a kind word

And look you in the eye and make you believe you…matter

And all the while the world goes rushing by

But she just smiles and goes on living life

 

At the speed…of love

At the speed…of love

She’s got a heart that beats at the speed of love

 

She clocks in at the flower shop puts her name tag on

That says “Hello, I’m Judy”

Bandaids on both her thumbs but she says the thorns

Are part of the roses…beauty

She stops to pray with Francine who just lost her mom

Checks in on her neighbors as she’s headed home

 

At the speed…of love

At the speed…of love

She’s got a heart that beats at the speed of love

 

You’re never gonna read about her in the headlines

Safe to say the world will never know her name

But I believe we’re gonna find when we meet at the finish line

Just how much the world was changed

By the ones who chose to run this race

 

At the speed…of love

 

At the speed…of love

At the speed…of love

I want a heart that beats

God give me a heart that beats

I need a heart that beats

At the speed of love
