Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a love so high
(That you cannot get over)
That's a love so wide
(It'll take forever just to get around it)
[Verse 2]
But love died somewhere
Behind that cross you wear
You're afraid when you look at me
That ain't real love, not the kind from above, mmm
[Verse 3]
But there's a friend of mine, mmm
(That stays closer than a brother)
Ooh, love laid down His life
(So why do we still fight one another?)
[Verse 4]
All this hate I see on the TV screen
In my country, 'tis of thee
(God, help us to love)
To love the way that You love me, mmm
(God) Help us to love
The way that You love me, oh
[Verse 5]
This world is weepin', hurtin'
Broken and beggin' for change, oh yeah
But still we watchin', prayin', dyin'
Things stay the same
When will we see? 'Til everyone's free
There'll never be peace between you and me
God, Your love is the cure
For the rich and the poor
God, please, will You open our eyes?
[Verse 6]
'Cause I want a love so high
(That you cannot get over)
Ooh, I want a love so wide
(It'll take forever just to get around it)
No, no, no, no, no
[Verse 7]
But it don't come cheap, it takes everything
To make love more than a dream
God, help us to love (God, help us to love)
God, help us to love (Yes, we need Your love)
We need Your love (What we need now is love)
Thrill us with Your love, Lord (Unconditional love)
We need Your love (I gotta know 'bout Your love)
Oh, we need Your love (Fill us, please, with Your love)
God, help me to love the way that You love me, mmm
