lyrics

You said that we should turn the other cheek
You said the earth’s the birthright of the meek
You said your strength is perfect when we are weak
And your grace would be enough
To show the world the power of love

But when we look around it seems the righteous
Are daily losing ground to the unjust
We’re doing all we can to keep believing
But holding out for love has left us bleeding

You told us to forgive
You showed us how to love
But we cause each other so much pain
How can that be enough?

You said you bring not peace but the sword
The rebel and the zealot call you Lord
You told us that violent take your kingdom by force
And those who love you need not fear the grave
Because your name has power to save

But when the soldiers came you did not resist them
And when we tried to fight, you said “forgive them”
Silently you went like a lamb to the slaughter
And we watched your heart break, abandoned by your Father

But even in your pain, you said “forgive them”
And even in your death, you said “forgive them”
Even in your pain, you said “forgive them”
And even in your death, you said “forgive them”

You told us to forgive
You showed us how to love
But we cause each other so much pain
How can that be enough?
(repeat)

Can we learn to turn the other cheek?
Can we have the patience of the meek?
Will your strength be perfect when we are weak?
Is your grace still enough
To show the world the power of love?
