There’s a love so high
(That you cannot get over)
That same love’s so wide
(It’ll take forever just to get around it)
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
But there’s a friend of mine
(That stays closer than a brother)
Love laid down His life
(So why do we still fight one another?)
All this hate I see, on the TV screen,
In my country ‘tis of thee
God help us to love, the way that you love me
BRIDGE:
This world is weeping, hurting, broken, and begging for change
But still we marching, praying, dying, and 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
Cause I want a love so high
(That you cannot get over)
And I want a love so wide
(It’ll take forever just to get around it)
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 (This world needs your love) We need your love (What we need now is love)
Fill us with your love, Lord (Unconditional love)
We need your love (Rain down on us, your love) We need your love (Fill us please with your love) God help me to love, the way that you love me
