Weapons and Shields
Love's Triumph: Embracing Healing and Defending Against Hate
Lyrics
You try to hurt me with the very thing that heals me
You attempt to cause harm using what actually provides healing for me.
You try to hate me with the very thing that says to love me
You try to express hatred despite messages advocating love towards me.
You try to bind me with the very thing that frees me
You try to confine me using what grants freedom.
You try to deny me of the very thing that feeds me
You attempt to deprive me of what nourishes and sustains me.
You try to open a wound that's healed
You try to reopen a healed wound.
With the lies you never yield
Using persistent falsehoods that you never abandon.
God is what you wield
You manipulate with the concept of God.
But your weapon is my shield
Your intended harm becomes my protection.
You try to reject me with the very thing that says to accept me
You try to push me away despite messages welcoming me.
You try to exclude me with the very thing that says to include me
You try to isolate me despite messages of inclusion.
You try to open a wound that's healed
You try to reopen a healed wound.
With the lies you never yield
Using persistent falsehoods that you never abandon.
God is what you wield
You manipulate with the concept of God.
But your weapon is my shield
Your intended harm becomes my protection.
You waste your time and your energy
You waste your efforts attempting to prove that God doesn't love me.
Trying to prove that God doesn't love me
God embodies love, while your hatred is the transgression.
But God is love, your hate is the sin
Encouraging to open up to love instead of harboring hate.
So open your heart and let love in
Invite love into your heart.
You try to hurt me with the very thing that heals me
You attempt to cause harm using what actually provides healing for me.
You try to hate me with the very thing that says to love me
You try to express hatred despite messages advocating love towards me.
You try to open a wound that's healed
You try to reopen a healed wound.
With the lies you never yield
Using persistent falsehoods that you never abandon.
God is what you wield
You manipulate with the concept of God.
But your weapon is my shield
Your intended harm becomes my protection.
