Live often home very close to the Truth, and this is one of those times. This is a great song about God, who is Love. I agree with the earlier comments though, that I don't think Love was part of Buddha's teachings; but I wonder also if Ed included him to prevent this from being taken purely in a Christian context.. However I think it lends itself much more to that than anything else. The Buddha, if I am not mistaken, focused more of eliminating desire, because he thought it was bad. Christ however affirmed that desires can be good, but we must deny them when they conflict with the laws established by God; and instead turn our focus to loving others before ourselves. In this way we can be free; free to choose when it is good, and not choose when it is bad.
If anyone is more familiar with Buddha's teachings, as I don't know much, please correct me if I have something wrong. So far as I understand many aspects of Buddha's teachings are compatible or within Christ's.

I am a Tibetan Buddhist....The Buddha taught about love, very much so. "Metta" - or loving-kindness, is a cornerstone of his teachings. The Buddha's life, life events, and teachings are remarkably similar to those of Jesus'. To me, they're very much like spiritual brothers. :)
