Lyrics
Light broke through
It was you
It began to rise inside of me
As you breathed in peace
Hallelujah
We were bought, we were bought with love
So we walk, we walk in love
You’re calling us out of ourselves
To love a world that’s broken down
So we walk in love
Wake up soul
You’ve been made whole
It’s Christ in you who’s shining through
When you give love away
Hallelujah
We were bought, we were bought with love
So we walk, we walk in love
You’re calling us out of ourselves
To love a world that’s broken down
So we walk in love
We will love, we will love, we will be your love
You will shine, you will shine, you will shine in us
We will love, we will love, we will walk in love

Meaning & Inspiration
“Walk In Love” centers Christian life on love received from Christ and then given to a hurting world. The opening movement from darkness into light and peace presents renewal as God’s work within a person. Its recurring line about being bought with love provides the reason for the song’s call to move beyond self-interest. Love is not treated merely as a feeling; it becomes a visible way of life shaped by Christ.
The title and chorus closely echo Ephesians 5:2, where believers are told to walk in love in light of Christ’s self-giving love. The image of Christ shining through a restored soul also fits Jesus’ teaching about light being seen through good works in Matthew 5:14-16. By joining redemption, wholeness, and service, the lyric presents love as both the source and the evidence of Christian freedom. The final repeated pledge reinforces a communal calling to embody Christ’s love amid brokenness.
