Only loving and being loved
5, 10 The life we live here is open to temptation
6, 13 For in vice there lurks a counterfeit beauty
6, 14 & 7, 15 How can I repay the Lord for my ability to recall these things without fear?

5, 7 For it is you, Lord, who judge me
6, 8 & 9 I love you, Lord, with no doubtful mind
27, 38 Late have I loved you, Beauty so ancient and so new
28, 39 When at last I cling to you with my whole being
43, 69 & 70 How you loved us, O good Father

7, 8 & 8, 9 Anyone with enough mental agility should here follow your apostle, who tells us that "the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given us."
9, 10 Now, my weight is my love, and wherever I am carried, it is this weight that carries me
