Kindness

We've built our stained-glass castles Reaching to the sky At our best to show your glory At our worst to show our pride We've raised our hands in worship And our fist to stake our claim We've done so much good and so much harm All in your great name But when I think about what has The power to change the world It could all be said with just one word Kindness What if we lived with a heart of kindness What if we loved like we've been loved If that's all that we're remembered for Well, let that be enough So, when they stand and tell the stories Of who we are and what we've done Of a thousand things that we could leave behind us If they say just one word Well, let that word be kindness Let our hearts be quick to listen And our lips be slow to speak Let us wrap ourselves in mercy, compassion, and humility We're reaching past the lines That words like us and them have drawn Knowing we'll find common ground together at the cross What if we lived with a heart of kindness What if we loved like we've been loved If that's all that we're remembered for Well, let that be enough So, when they stand and tell the stories Of who we are and what we've done Of a thousand things that we could leave behind us If they say just one word Well, let that word be kindness Kindness I can forgive because I've been forgiven And I can show mercy Because its mercy I've received It's the kindness of my Father That brought me back to life And it's his kindness that still brings me to my knees I wanna live with a heart of kindness I wanna love like I've been loved If that's all that I'm remembered for Then let that be enough And I wanna stand and tell the story Of who you are and what you've done How your amazing love would bring you here to find us To rescue and redeem us in your kindness Oh, let my life be A reflection of your kindness We can change the world with kindness We can change the world with kindness We can change the world with kindness Kindness
