Teach Me To Love - Steve Green, Larnelle Harris

All my life I’ve had to struggle to be free

Though I see no end in sight

I stand in line with men

Who made a vow to never stop the fight

And to trust that you can comprehend

A loss you’ve never known

Will take a love that I have searched for

But love I cannot find alone

There’s no power but the power of the cross

That can melt my hardened heart

And show me all the pride and arrogance

That tear our souls apart

For injustice that you suffer

And for our nation’s shameful sin

I humbly ask for your forgiveness

We need to learn to love again

Lord, teach me to love

Show me how to care for others

Cause my soul to burn within

For the fellowship of my brother

Only You can break the chains

That have held me for so long

Lord, You’re my hope, my only hope

Teach me to love

Lord, teach me to love

Show me how to care for others

Cause my soul to burn within

For the fellowship of my brother

Only You can break the chains

That have held me for so long

Lord, You’re my hope, my only hope

Teach me to love

So daily I seek to know the Christ

Who suffered for all men

For in Him I find the courage

To ask again and again

Lord, teach me to love

Show me how to care for others

Cause my soul to burn within

For the fellowship of my brother

Only You can break the chains

That have held me for so long

Lord, You’re my hope, my only hope

Teach me to love
