"Love Anyway" lyrics - TENTH AVENUE NORTH

I don't want to start 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

[Chorus:]
I want to hear before I speak
Offer grace before critique
I want to live like I've got no enemies
Lord, help me
Lord, help me
To love anyway

[Post-Chorus:]
(Love anyway, love anyway)
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? (Who are we fighting for?)

[Chorus:]
I want to hear before I speak
Offer grace before critique
I want to live like I've got no enemies
Lord, help me
Lord, help me
To love anyway

[Post-Chorus:]
(Love anyway, love anyway)
Love anyway (Love anyway)

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Post-Chorus:]
(Love anyway, love anyway)
Love anyway (Love anyway, love anyway)
To love anyway (Love anyway, love anyway)
Love anyway, love anyway (Love anyway, love anyway)
Oh, love anyway (Love anyway, love anyway)
(Love anyway, love anyway)

[Outro:]
Show me how to love them how You love me
(Love anyway, love anyway)
Show me how to love them how You love me
(Love anyway, love anyway)
