Love Anyway

(album: The Things We've Been Afraid To Say - 2018)

Love anyway
Love anyway
Love anyway
Love anyway

Yeah, I don't wanna start a
Another new debate
'Cause when I turn the news on
All I feel is heartbreak
Left, right, hate on both sides
Oh, will we ever learn
We can stop drawing lines?
Enemy lines, enemy lines

I wanna hear before I speak
Offer grace before critique
I wanna live like I got no enemies
Lord help me, Lord help me
To love anyway,
(love anyway, love anyway)
To love anyway
(love anyway)
Yeah, to love anyway

You told me that the battle
Isn't flesh and blood
But when safety is my idol
It's impossible to trust
Race, guns, refugee wars
We're known for who we're against
Yeah, but who are we for?

Who are we for?
Who are we fighting for?

I wanna hear before I speak
Offer grace before critique
I wanna live like I got no enemies
Lord help me, Lord help me
To love anyway,
(love anyway, love anyway)
To love anyway
(love anyway)

Teach me how to turn
Turn the other cheek
Show me how to bless
Even those who threaten me
Teach me how to turn (to turn)
Turn the other cheek (other cheek)
Show me how to bless (how to bless)
Even those who threaten me (threaten me)
To love them how You love me

I wanna hear before I speak
Offer grace before critique
I wanna live like I got no enemies
Lord help me, Lord help me
To love anyway,
(love anyway, love anyway)
love anyway
(love anyway, love anyway)
To love anyway, love anyway
(love anyway, love anyway)
Love anyway, oh, love anyway

Show me how You love me, how You love me
Show me how You love me, how You love me
