lyrics

(Romans 12:21, 1 Peter 3:9)

Our ankles may not bear the weight
of cold and metal chains,
But our world is still a-flood
with man's oppressive hate.
And just like in the ages past,
we need a different call:
to not be overcome by hate
but overcome with love. 

We dub our time as 'civilised'-
imagine we've evolved.
But history is on a loop:
a problem we can't solve.
How easy to be swept along
the current of our Fall!
But Christ has made a better way
to overcome with love.

We can't defeat our hate with hate,
nor darkness with the dark,
But light can fill the largest cell
and free imprisoned hearts.
So, You who are the Light of men,
inspire in us now:
to not be overcome by hate
but overcome with love.

And though we seem to lose the fight,
fall victim to world,
Our King shall have the victory,
and have the final word.
So break the chains that bind our hearts
that we may dare your song!
"Do not be overcome by hate
but overcome with love!"

So break the chains that bind our hearts
that we may dare your song:
"Do not be overcome by hate
but overcome with love!"
