Gary Morris - Where Love Is King lyrics

rate me

(Gary Morris - Chuck Glass - Dottie Moore)

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.)

Chorus:

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.)

Chorus:

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.

Chorus:

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...
