God Is Love glorifies a loving and wonderful God who sent his only Son to live, die, and conquer death for our eternal salvation. This entire work was scribed by a non-poet (me, the author) listening to secular music dictate these words of honor and praise to our God. Since these were all written listening to music they can be sung to music. This book begins with the title poem "God is Love," an all-out joyous praise of our God, and continues with "My God Called to Me," a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving for a God that never stopped loving me. "Angels in Three Parts" experiences the angels' reactions to Christ's birth, life, and crucifixion and the future as foretold in Revelations. "In the Fullness of Time" takes the reader to a dark and sobering reflection of reality without Christ. Throughout this collection the poems explore the emotions of praise, thanksgiving, joy, hope, and peace. God Is Love is a cherished collection praising God and giving peace and comfort to the reader.
“Faith and culture sometimes intersect in creative and even
arresting ways. In God Is Love, William Lowery draws on his
personal delight in poetic expression, his deep enjoyment of an
array of musical styles, and his exuberant love for Christ. This
book is an invitation to join the author in an imaginative dance of
word, sound, and belief. Allow yourself to read, listen, and join
the song.”
—Rob Hewell, author of Worship Beyond Nationalism: Practicing the
