Let It Be Love
by Unspoken

Album: Reason

Verse 1
Children of God
What have we done?
We've taken the truth
And made it a weapon
How easy we forget
What drew and pulled us in
It was not pointed fingers
Or proving me wrong
That called and convicted
Me to come home
But kindness brought repentance
Freedom and forgiveness
Oh, children

Chorus
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love, love, love
Speaking the truth means nothing
Without love, love, love
'Cause no one's gonna hear us
If we keep throwing stones
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love (Love, love, love)

Verse 2
Children of God
We've painted our signs
Saying, “Come as you are”
But is that what they find?
Ready arms of welcome
Steady hands to help them (Mm-mm-mm)
Rebuild what's been broken
The bridges that burned
For hearts only open
With the key trust has earned
How else will they know Him?
Who else is gonna show them?
Oh, children

Chorus
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love, love, love
Speaking the truth means nothing
Without love, love, love
'Cause no one's gonna hear us
If we keep throwing stones
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love (Love, love, love)

Bridge
Patient and kind
Keeps no record of wrongs
Gives more than it takes
No matter the cost
It is not proud (It is not proud)
Selfish or rude (Selfish or rude)
Lays down its life (Lays down its life)
For its enemies too
It hurts and it cries
Bleeds and it dies
Hopes and trusts
Though it is crushed
Believes sustains
Endures the pain
Love always prevails (Always prevails)
It sings with songs of victory
Plants gardens where deserts used to be
Wastelands alive with living streams
Love never fails (Love never fails)

Chorus
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love, love, love
Speaking the truth means nothing
Without love, love, love
'Cause no one's gonna hear us
If we keep throwing stones
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love (Love, love, love)
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love
'Cause no one's gonna hear us
If we keep throwing stones
If we're gonna be known for something
Let it be love
Known for something
Let it be love
