lyrics
Pull the sword out of your chest and hang it at my side
Draw the bullet back and lay my pistol down
There is no comfort in avenging life
There is no glory in a dead man
Hallelujah, Love's the bravest soldier
Hallelujah, Love will overcome
Give me what is mine and I will give it back
Take my coat and turn the other cheek
It's good and right but it won't stop the heart attack
When we all suffer from the same disease
Hallelujah, Love's the greatest healer
Hallelujah, Love will overcome
Rubble on the ground awakens
What was broken down is made new
Let everything that has breath sing!
Hallelujah, there's a new forever
Sprung from all these ruins there is Love
Hallelujah, there's a new forever
Sprung from all these ruins there is Love
Hallelujah, Love's the only Savior
Hallelujah, Love will overcome
Hallelujah, Love is my Redeemer
Hallelujah, He will overcome
Hallelujah, Love will overcome
