Kindness

(álbum: Still - 2022)

We've built our stained-glass castles
Reaching to the sky
At our best to show Your glory
At our worst to show our pride
We've raised our hands in worship
And our fist to stake our claim
We've done so much good and so much harm
All in Your great name

But when I think about what has
The power to change the world
It could all be said with just one word
Kindness

What if we lived with a heart of kindness
What if we loved like we've been loved
If that's all that we're remembered for
Well, let that be enough
So, when they stand and tell the stories
Of who we are and what we've done
Of a thousand things that we could leave behind us
If they say just one word
Well, let that word be kindness

Let our hearts be quick to listen
And our lips be slow to speak
Let us wrap ourselves in mercy, compassion, and humility
We're reaching past the lines
That words like us and them have drawn
Knowing we'll find common ground together at the cross

What if we lived with a heart of kindness
What if we loved like we've been loved
If that's all that we're remembered for
Well, let that be enough
So, when they stand and tell the stories
Of who we are and what we've done
Of a thousand things that we could leave behind us
If they say just one word
Well, let that word be kindness

Kindness

I can forgive because I've been forgiven
And I can show mercy
Because its mercy I've received
It's the kindness of my Father
That brought me back to life
And it's His kindness that still brings me to my knees

I wanna live with a heart of kindness
I wanna love like I've been loved
If that's all that I'm remembered for
Then let that be enough
And I wanna stand and tell the story
Of who You are and what You've done
How Your amazing love would bring You here to find us
To rescue and redeem us in Your kindness
Oh, let my life be
A reflection of Your kindness

We can change the world with kindness
Your kindness
We can change the world with kindness
Kindness
We can change the world with kindness
You kindness
