Let It Be Love

Verse 1
Am
Children of God
E7
What have we done?
Em
We've taken the truth
D
And made it a weapon
Dm
How easy we forget
E
What drew and pulled us in
Am
It was not pointed fingers
E7
Or proving me wrong
Em
That called and convicted
D
Me to come home
Dm7
But kindness brought repentance
E7
Freedom and forgiveness
Am
Oh, children

Chorus

                   Am
If we're gonna be known for something
           Dm
Let it be love, love, love
              G
Speaking the truth means nothing
         C
Without love, love, love
       Fmaj7
'Cause no one's gonna hear us
   Dm
If we keep throwing stones
                  Am            E7
If we're gonna be known for something
                 Am
Let it be love (Love, love, love)

Verse 2
Am
Children of God
E7
We've painted our signs
Em
Saying, "Come as you are"
D
But is that what they find?
Dm
Ready arms of welcome
E7
Steady hands to help them (Mm-mm-mm)
Am
Rebuild what's been broken
E7
The bridges that burned
Em
For hearts only open
D
With the key trust has earned
Dm
How else will they know Him?
E7
Who else is gonna show them?
Am
Oh, children
