When I'm up against the wall When I want to scream and kick and fall I try to close my eyes and listen For a voice so very small When I feel attacked And I want to give some of it back I need to get down on my knees and pray for love
Without love I know that I would be nothing Without love I would have nothing to give Without love My heart would beat for no reason There wouldn't be a reason to live Without love
I've been known to build up walls of fear Around my heart and hide in here Let emotions cloud my vision 'Til I can't see clear And I can fight with those who disagree Or I can reach out with words of mercy With the kind of love Christ Jesus gives to me
So let me love my brother like You first loved me A heart full of compassion is all I really need
