Fearless Love - David Wilcox

Fearless love, fearless love

Fearless love makes you cross the border

At your church they asked for volunteers

To make a presence in the park

That’s where the wicked planned to demonstrate

And carry signs to set a spark

Someone behind you heaved a stone

That struck the thin man behind his ear

So now there’s blood upon his sign

Which read «There's nothing here to fear»

«The wrath of god,» somebody yelled

«Will punish all of those like him»

But if you travel back 2000 years

I swear you’d hear this all again

Back then they’d say

«These soldiers walk on sacred ground

This land’s our history and our home

They have no right to be around

They are the evil force of Rome

So just how strong this change of heart must be

That one that Jesus once described

Kindness to your enemy

Carry his pack an extra mile

When fearless love, fearless love

Fearless love makes you cross the border

Your mind snaps back to where you stand

Your church is here to fight a cause

And at your feet a fallen man

Whose head is cradled in his arms

Though his blood contains his death

And though the lines are drawn in hate

You drop your sign of Bible verse

And help the wounded stand up straight

Chorus Oh yes the high religious still will scorn

Just like that did all that time back

They’ll say you helped the other side

They saw you haul that soldier’s pack

But now how could you carry that man’s sign

In your heart the choice was clear

You didn’t join the other side

The battle lines just disappeared
