God Is Love

It's a cancer that eats away at our souls
This judgmental stance we've taken
We criticize our neighbor
While the knife sticks out of our own neck
Losing blood
We're losing blood

Let's relearn love
Let's lelearn this thing called life
The one that Christ died and rose for
Through blood
Through his blood

Let's relearn love
The one that's patient
The one that's kind
That puts up with faults
And grey areas

Because admit it
The grey areas are there
Things that seem wrong to you
Just aren't wrong for your neighbor
So start looking inside
Rather than out

God's not a box
He is loving-justice
He is mercy
He is grace
God's not a box

Let's take in love
And let it out
Breathe in
But don't forget to breathe out
Because it's not the taking in we're having the problem with
It's the letting out that's so hard

Let's relearn Christ
The one who pissed off the pompous
While drinking and eating with the sinners
The prostitutes
The cheaters
The doubters
The murderers
Because face it
We're all murderers
It was our sin that held him there
It was for love that he came down

God never makes sense
Grace invades
This thing called Karma
It takes over
It takes over the whole reap/sow
Cause and effect
Eye for an eye
And turns it on it's head
It turns it into a paradox
What once was true
Now beautifully makes no sense

God's not a box
He is loving-justice
God's not a box
He is mercy
He is grace

He is love

God is love. . .

And so will reverberate in the halls of heaven for all eternity
And so should reverberate in the voices of His people here on earth
Right here
Right now

"God is love. . . "
