Teach us how to live humbly, love unconditionally
Transform our hurt into hope
And grant us Your peace

One by one we will call for a ceasefire
One by one we will fight for a better end
One by one we could rewrite the headlines
Standing side by side
One by one, love is building an empire
One by one, reaching out to our enemies
One by one we will make it to the finish line
We’re standing side by side
Ceasefire

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate
If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all of His mysteries and making everything as plain as day
And if I have faith to say to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing
If I give all I own to the poor or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere
So, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe, no matter what I do, I’m bankrupt without love

If I give to a needy soul
But don’t have love, then who is poor?
It seems all the poverty is found in me

So let my life be the proof, the proof of your love
Let my love look like you, and what you’re made of
How you lived, how you died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof
The proof of your love

When it’s all said and done
When we sing our final song
Only love remains
Only love remains
