|
All my life I've had to struggle to be free |
|
Though I see no end in sight |
|
I stand in line with men |
|
Who made a vow to never stop the fight |
|
And to trust that you can comprehend |
|
A loss you've never known |
|
Will take a love that I have searched for |
|
But love I cannot find alone |
|
There's no power but the power of the cross |
|
That can melt my hardened heart |
|
And show me all the pride and arrogance |
|
That tear our souls apart |
|
For injustice that you suffer |
|
And for our nation's shameful sin |
|
I humbly ask for your forgiveness |
|
We need to learn to love again |
|
Lord, teach me to love |
|
Show me how to care for others |
|
Cause my soul to burn within |
|
For the fellowship of my brother |
|
Only You can break the chains |
|
That have held me for so long |
|
Lord, You're my hope, my only hope |
|
Teach me to love |
|
Lord, teach me to love |
|
Show me how to care for others |
|
Cause my soul to burn within |
|
For the fellowship of my brother |
|
Only You can break the chains |
|
That have held me for so long |
|
Lord, You're my hope, my only hope |
|
Teach me to love |
|
So daily I seek to know the Christ |
|
Who suffered for all men |
|
For in Him I find the courage |
|
To ask again and again |
|
Lord, teach me to love |
|
Show me how to care for others |
|
Cause my soul to burn within |
|
For the fellowship of my brother |
|
Only You can break the chains |
|
That have held me for so long |
|
Lord, You're my hope, my only hope |
|
Teach me to love |
