War Kills, Love Dies


Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
It has no place in securing our borders
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
Those who killed many of our people deserve no love, and so we will kill many of their people
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
Will the huddled masses, innocent of the crimes of regimes ever know it?
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
Love doesn't keep our nation rich
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
Love doesn't give us the oil fields of Babylon

Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
Love is too patient, too kind, too selfless, too blind
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
It is not powerful, but our missles are
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
This is not the time to turn the other cheek, but to fight
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
This not the time to show mercy, but to kill
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
This is not the time to show humility, but pride
Whatever happened to the love of Jesus?
Whoever told you this country knew Jesus?

War kills
Love dies for others
Pride kills
Hope loves others
Anger prejudices against those who love
Humility breaks down all discrimination
Patience waits
Anger is impatient
God is love
War is hell
Jesus died for those He saved
Those He saved crucified their Lord
Our logic is flawed
We have no logic but flaws
God's knowledge is wise
God knows nothing but wisdom

God of love
Take my hate
May I never be a barbed wire fence
May I never hinder the way to forgiveness
May I 'ever forgive my enemy
For who is an enemy if they are forgiven?

God of love
Take my pride
May I never be a fist
May I never stand before the weak and your Mighty hand
May I never be a fool
For the fool has said in his heart "there is no God"

God of love
Take me down
Take me down to the ground
Take me down to my knees
Take me down to the valley
That I may know that You are more than over the hills

If I withold the love of God to the most hated
Will there be any love for me?
If I withhold forgiveness from my enemy
Is there any love for me?

War kills
Love dies
God is love
War is hell

A time comes when silence is betrayal
The ultimate weakeness of violence is that it's a descending spiral
Adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars
Adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars

War kills
Love dies
God is love
War is hell
