Where Love Is King

Years ago a line was drawn between the north and south
The civil war’s alive and well, it’s in your neighbor’s house
Around the corner and the bend the battle rages on
All the violence on the street begins in someone’s home
It’s not enough to tell your children what’s right or wrong
Light a path that they can follow but carry them along. (show them.)
Walk to the edge of forgiveness, take one more step
Have mercy on your brother with no regrets
Rise up where the heart rules and the voices sing
In the land where love is king.
Years ago a line was drawn between the east and west
Across the oceans here at home we face the human test
Like the forest and trees we share a common earth
Imagine this the world at peace guaranteed at birth
Different views and different faiths walk hand in hand
The world would be a better place, a single race. (that understands.)
Walk to the edge of forgiveness, take one more step
Have mercy on your brother with no regrets
Rise up where the heart rules and the voices sing
In the land where love is king.
Holy, Holy God on high
Make this a holy land
Where the people aren’t afraid to try
The brotherhood of man.
Walk to the edge of forgiveness, take one more step
Have mercy on your brother with no regrets
Rise up where the heart rules and the voices sing
In the land where love is king…
