I'm not here to tell you you are wrong
i know a lot of christians sing that song
But I'm not going to tell you you were right either
I'm here to talk about love
Love is strong
love can tear a world apart
love is the way he still listens to us
when we pray for things out of jealousy
love shouldn't be on the streets
Yes, love is on the streets
People are in gangs because the love attracts them
they make an attachment
to a thin layer of love
that tends to fall short often
You might think they would realize thats not where they should go
but love attracts more than you know
They should go to the church but that is not where helpless people flow
Because the church is no longer filled with love
And don't get me wrong I've seen amazing things with help from above
but since that doesn't happen a lot
hopeless people turn to ***
Then the church is the first place the gossip goes
The preacher talks about drugs that Sunday
he didn't say your name
but everyone knows he is talking about you anyway
Then the hopeless people leave the church
and they are back on the streets
You see where I am going with this?
We are quick to blame them
yet we are to blame too
They jumped off a cliff and we talked about them as they fell
not knowing if we will ever see them again
And you fake like your their friend
till you slip up and they stab you in the back
do you think God will be pleased with that?
Lets rewind back to when Jesus was on Earth
He loved us more than we knew
while he was on the crosse he screamed
"Forgive them, they know not what they do!"
Yet you still don't know do you?
Do you know you are hurting the people God loves?
Hurting them when they did nothing to you
And they thought you loved them too
Jesus forgave you, and you didn't know the power of what you do
Right now I am telling you
You don't have the right to talk about a man because he has tattoos
Or even judge a girl because you think she stole her shoes
Or even gossip about a dead beat dad drinking *****
because one day that might be you
Let me tell you what to do
love
because then you have the assurance one day someone will do the same for you
You see love is like a bandage mending broken wounds
Love is a wall you can lean on
like the souls in your shoes
They keep people from falling
and they catch you if you do
love is something that makes people brand new
love is inside of you
Give love
because there is someone who needs it from you
