Share My Journey

On Wednesday I posted a blog about Chris Mercer and included the lyrics to one of the songs from her CD Whispers of His Grace. One line in particular (When I'm lovin' through the hate) kept hitting on me, and ran around in my head through last night. This is what happens when I write songs, so I knew that a song was forming, and sure enough, when I sat in front of the computer this morning, the song escaped from my head! The lyrics are below. Hope you like them!

Love Away the Hate

There’s so much in the world today
that’s tearing me apart;
it sometimes seems our universe
has got a broken heart.
Lord Jesus come back to our world
before it is too late:
and love away the brokenness
and love away the hate.
Yes, love away the brokenness
And love away the hate.
For only You,
Yes, only You,
Can bring a peace
To this world of ours.
Yes, only you,
Lord, only You,
Can bring God’s peace
To this world of ours.

Instead of living as You taught,
our lives are full of greed.
We’re chasing after things we want,
and missing what we need.
And each day moves us closer still
To brokenness and hate,
Lord Jesus come back to our world,
before it is too late.
Yes, come back now into our world,
and love away the hate.
For only You,
Yes, only You,
Can bring a peace
To this world of ours.
Yes, only you,
Lord, only You,
Can bring God’s peace
To this world of ours.

Once You return we’ll live again,
Refreshed, renewed, revived.
We’ll lift our hands in praise to You
And cast our hate aside.
You’ll love away the brokenness
And love away the pain;
And we will all Your people be,
Renewed to life again.
For only You,
Yes, only You,
Can bring a peace
To this world of ours.
Yes, only you,
Lord, only You,
Can bring God’s peace
To this world of ours.
