Gary Morris - Where Love Is King lyrics

Where Love Is King

Gary Morris

Years ago a line was drawn

Between the north and south

The civil war's alive and well

It's in your neighbor's house

Around the corner and the bend

The battle rages on

All the violence on the street

Begins in someone's home

It's not enough to tell your children

What's right or wrong

Light a path that they can follow

But carry them along (show them)

Chorus:

Walk to the edge of forgiveness

Take on more step

Have mercy on your brother

With no regrets

Rise up where the heart rules

And the voices sing

In the land where love is king

Years ago a line was drawn

Between the east and west

Across the oceans here at home

We face the human test

Like the forest and trees

We share a common earth

Imagine this the world at peace

guaranteed at birth

Different views and different faiths

Walk hand in hand

The world would be a better place

A single race (that understands)

Walk to the edge of forgiveness

Take one more step

Have mercy on your brother with no regrets

Rise up where the heart rules

And the voices sing

In the land where love is king

Holy holy God on high

Make this a holy land

Where the people

Aren't afraid to try

The brotherhood of man

Walk to the edge of forgiveness

Take one more step

Have mercy on your brother with no regrets

Rise up where the heart rules

And the voices sing

In the land where love is king
