Love Is

Remembering when, when it was innocent
When it felt effortless
Before I complicated the line of love and hatred
Forgetting selflessness

Now I put myself aside
Love leaves selfishness behind

I choose this now, I will stand my ground
I won't turn back, 'cause I wanna tear these walls down
It's more than words, that will change the world
A driving force when our hearts converge

That's what love is
That's what love is, yeah
That's what love is
That's what love is, oh

Now I know how, how simple it should be
To love the least of these
Pushing my judgments aside
I won't leave them behind
They need You desperately

I choose this now, I will stand my ground
I won't turn back, 'cause I wanna tear these walls down
It's more than words, that will change the world
A driving force when our hearts converge

That's what love is
That's what love is, yeah
That's what love is
That's what love is, oh

The only whole hearts were once broken by you
And in this world of broken hearts and open wounds
Break ours to know where to pours yours into
Let us love the the runner, the fearful, and the fallen
The wronged and led astray
The lives persecuted solely and absurdly by race
The ones that the church pushed further and further away
The addict, the illegal, the gay... without expectation for change
Hallelujah that your love has no limits no condition no matter our place
We were loved at our worst
Before we could ever change, you loved us first
And we will do the same

I choose this now, I will stand my ground
I won't turn back, 'cause I wanna tear these walls down
It's more than words, that will change the world
A driving force when our hearts converge

That's what love is
That's what love is, yeah
That's what love is
That's what love is, oh
