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
