When I'm up against the wall<br />
When I want to scream and kick and fall<br />
I try to close my eyes and listen<br />
For a voice so very small<br />
When I feel attacked<br />
And I want to give some of it back<br />
I need to get down on my knees and pray for love<br />
Without love<br />
I know that I would be nothing<br />
Without love<br />
I would have nothing to give<br />
Without love<br />
My heart would beat for no reason<br />
There wouldn't be a reason to live<br />
Without love<br />
I've been known to build up walls of fear<br />
Around my heart and hide in here<br />
Let emotions cloud my vision<br />
'Til I can't see clear<br />
And I can fight with those who disagree<br />
Or I can reach out with words of mercy<br />
With the kind of love Christ Jesus gives to me<br />
So let me love my brother like You first loved me<br />
A heart full of compassion is all I really need
