Worth Fighting For

(album: United - 2019)

You feel the weight
The great divide
The fighting words the faithless pride
But is there something that's worth fighting for

You hide your doubts
You hold your tongue
You hope the world won't come undone
In the rerun of what's worth fighting for

I just don't know
But this I know

Love your neighbor as yourself
Treat each other kind
Read the words that Jesus said
And then let them free your mind
Forgive the ones who've hurt you most
Don't tarry in the past
Buy the truth never let it go
It's the only thing that lasts

Self-assured we pick our fights
Drawing red lines demanding rights
To find out some fights aren't worth fighting for

I wanna throw off the burdens that will not budge
Cut loose the anchor of every grudge
I wanna feel the rush of what's worth fighting for

I just don't know
But this I know

Love your neighbor as yourself
Treat each other kind
Read the words that Jesus said
And then let them free your mind
Forgive the ones who've hurt you most
Don't tarry in the past
Buy the truth never let it go
It's the only thing that lasts

And if our faith can't find a way
What's that say
And if our hope can't help restore
What's it for
And if our love can't unify
Tell me why

I just don't know
But this I know

Love your neighbor as yourself
Treat each other kind (treat each other kind)
Read the words that Jesus said
And then let them free your mind (let them free your mind)
Forgive the ones who've hurt you most
Don't tarry in the past (don't tarry in the past)
Buy the truth never let it go
It's the only thing (only thing)
It's the only thing that lasts
