Israel Houghton - Love God, Love People: The London Sessions
I see the state of the world and it grieves me
I hear the cries of the broken from the rich and the poor
I smell the fear of disease all around me
I feel responsible now that I see
'Cause we all were born to live for more than this
More than this
So I want to love like You love
Love like You love
Want to love others
The way that You love me
The way You love me
I've held the children unseen and they move me
I wonder what I can do to improve a thousand lives
I feel the absence of love and it scares me
So much more than this
So I want love like You love
Yeah I want love like You love
Others
The way that You love
I was that lost soul that You rescued
I was the orphan You adopted and brought into Your heart
I was acquainted with the hopelessness
of living in the streets
That was me
Now I'm gonna love like You love
Help me love others
Oh God
I'm gonna forgive like You forgave
And rescue like You have saved
others
You first loved me
that's why I love You
Because You first loved me
Yeah
