This is Love

Where there's hatred
Show love, show love
Weak and broken
Lift them up, lift them up

If there's despair, breathe in the peace
Help heal the wounds of another
Where darkness lives, bring forth the light
Release the chains

This is love
This is love
Let your light speak out loud
This love
This is love
Let the heavens come down

So, give, give, give it away
Give it away, let mercy reign
This is love
This is love

Hope is raising
There is joy, there is joy
It's in dying
We are born, we are born

And as we give, so we receive
The grace to pardon another
Redeemed by him who shatters pain
And shines the way

This is love
This is love
Let your light speak out loud
This is love
This is love
Let the heavens come down

So, give, give, give it away
Give it away, let mercy reign
This is love
This is love

Be an instrument of truth
Live it out, let words be few
Let our lives be living proof
This is love
This is love

This is love

This is love
This is love
Let your light speak out loud
This is love
This is love
Let the heavens come down

So, give, give, give it away
Give it away, let mercy reign
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love

Let our lives be living proof
This is love
This is love
