| All my life I’ve had to struggle to be free
|
| Though I see no end in sight
|
| I stand in line with men
|
| Who made a vow to never stop the fight
|
| And to trust that you can comprehend
|
| A loss you’ve never known
|
| Will take a love that I have searched for
|
| But love I cannot find alone
|
| There’s no power but the power of the cross
|
| That can melt my hardened heart
|
| And show me all the pride and arrogance
|
| That tear our souls apart
|
| For injustice that you suffer
|
| And for our nation’s shameful sin
|
| I humbly ask for your forgiveness
|
| We need to learn to love again
|
| Lord, teach me to love
|
| Show me how to care for others
|
| Cause my soul to burn within
|
| For the fellowship of my brother
|
| Only You can break the chains
|
| That have held me for so long
|
| Lord, You’re my hope, my only hope
|
| Teach me to love
|
| Lord, teach me to love
|
| Show me how to care for others
|
| Cause my soul to burn within
|
| For the fellowship of my brother
|
| Only You can break the chains
|
| That have held me for so long
|
| Lord, You’re my hope, my only hope
|
| Teach me to love
|
| So daily I seek to know the Christ
|
| Who suffered for all men
|
| For in Him I find the courage
|
| To ask again and again
|
| Lord, teach me to love
|
| Show me how to care for others
|
| Cause my soul to burn within
|
| For the fellowship of my brother
|
| Only You can break the chains
|
| That have held me for so long
|
| Lord, You’re my hope, my only hope
|
| Teach me to love |
