Love Manipur :: Album - GO GOSPEL
Lunminthang Haokip *
Picturesque foothill of Manipur
1. Looking at our land, and its bounds,
Peeping into the trends in towns;
Knowing our shire, its sights and sounds,
Feeling the air - God's love abounds;
But all's not well in land-of-gold,
' For to sad vain things we are sold.
Love Manipur, we all clamor,
Without Jesus, our ties turn sour;
His teachings will our souls makes pure,
His suffering to our pain is cure;
If His life could everyone lure,
We all will LOVE MANIPUR for sure.
2. "Love God with all your heart and soul",
Over this command we do foul;
Preaching of love don't touch the core,
Sin stings, we love self all the more;
As the Word's obeyed half-measure,
The world's torn by His displeasure.
3. At the fag-end of this great year,
If nothing to you would bring cheer,
Rejoice at Birth of the Saviour,
Whose death to men was big favour;
He's born to love and sin endure,
Love God to truly Love Manipur.
