Let Love Win

Lord, Your love builds bridges that cannot be burned It speaks truth that cannot be learned It's a treasure we can never earn Oh, it goes places we're afraid of going It's not a fist, it's a hand wide open Reaching out to the down and broken We believe Your love is the strongest way You're tearing down walls and You break our chains Even in this darkness, hope will rise again When we lay down our weapons, we will let love win Lord, we lay down our weapons, and we let love win Lord, Your love is a friend to its enemies It takes a hit, then turns a cheek You laid down Your life for peace Oh, love won't cast a single stone It's never proven by words alone You come alive in our flesh and bones and in our souls We believe Your love is the strongest way You're tearing down walls and You break our chains Even in this darkness, hope will rise again When we lay down our weapons, we will let love win Lord, we lay down our weapons, and we let love win What if fighting for our beliefs Looks more like surrendering? Though that's the hardest thing And what if standing up for what's right Means laying down our pride Even laying down our lives? We believe Your love is the strongest way You're tearing down walls and You break our chains Even in this darkness, hope will rise again When we lay down our weapons, we will let love win We believe Your love is the strongest way You're tearing down walls and You break our chains Even in this darkness, hope will rise again When we lay down our weapons, we will let love win Lord, we lay down our weapons, and we let love win
