Prayer Song
Love the World
1. This is the drum on a distant rise.
This is the smoke of a sacrifice.
This is the howl in a voice that cries:
You can’t harbor love.
Like the flash in the thunderhead.
Like the rush in the watershed.
Like the hymn playing in my head.
It’s all or nothing.
We are called to love the world (3x)
In this life, in this life.
2. Welcome to Jesus’ reality.
Whatever you did you did unto me.
Open the eyes that refuse to see.
You can’t harbor love.
Now as it was and shall always be,
Nobody’s free till we all are free.
Who would my sisters and brothers be?
It’s all or nothing
Bridge: Come if you hear his voice.
Draw near, draw near.
Longing for righteousness,
Be filled, be filled.
3. I will remember the hands of Christ
Touching the broken the scandalized
Even when he was the one despised
He did not harbor love
This is the blood from his hands and side.
This is his heart broken open wide.
This is a love no one is denied. It’s all...
4. This is the drum on a distant rise.
This is the smoke of a sacrifice.
This is the howl in a voice that cries,
You can’t harbor love
So light of the world,
won’t you shine on me.
Bread of the world,
Won’t you give me strength.
Hope of the world won’t you make me see.
It’s all or nothing.
