He's been preached at a million times
|
So he can tell you what's wrong and right
|
But he still sits with a heart of stone
|
Cause condemnation is all he's known
|
|
But what if we took a different route
|
Got to know him from the inside out
|
Showed him that we're all the same
|
And told him about amazing grace
|
|
Cause he needs love he needs love
|
Lots of it before he'll ever open up
|
He needs grace from god above
|
But from us he needs love
|
|
(she we they)
|
|
If she doesn't somehow catch an eye
|
She'll sleep out in the cold tonight
|
So she works the corner with fishnets on
|
Just blocks away from a house of god
|
|
She claims she'll never go inside
|
Just doesn't think that it would feel right
|
But what if we stepped out to her
|
With love that she doesn't have to earn
|
|
I bet the world would change if it knew love
|
Well we know his name so it's up to us
|
We gotta reach our hands to wash some feet
|
Go another mile to find a need
|
We gotta step off of our pedestals
|
If we want a change that's radical
|
If we're gonna serve the least of these
|
Then love is what we really need
|
