There Is…

If I am the one to tell of what’s been done
Then I want to make it clear
See I stood on a hill that was once a battlefield
You know, and I felt no fear
But I saw in the eyes of a woman a pain I cannot comprehend
And I can’t explain how she relives it everyday

But there is love in a place where hate once stood
There is hope in a heart that once had none
There is peace in a land where war raged on
There is forgiveness where unforgivable things were done

I stood in a room not fit to be a tomb
A tomb it had become
And I spoke with a man who carried a bullet in his head
And the weight of what was done
But I saw a newborn baby boy his mother’s eyes so full of joy
Now her son will become a man
Here on God’s green earth in the blessed land

Where there is love in a place where hate once stood
There is hope in a heart that once had none
There is peace in a land where war raged on
There is forgiveness where unforgivable things were done

Now my heart is heavy as I leave this land behind
Though I’ll carry the story that it told me in my mind
And in time I will return
But until I do
I want the world to learn

That there is love in a place where hate once stood
There is hope in a heart that once had none
There is peace in a land where war raged on
There is forgiveness where unforgivable things were done

There is love,
Hope,
Peace
There’s forgivenes

There is love, love, love
Hope, Lord, there’s hope
Peace, there’s forgiveness
There is love, love, love
Hope, Lord, there’s hope
Peace, there’s forgiveness

There is love in a place where hate once stood
There is hope in a heart that once had none
There is peace in a land where war raged on
There is forgiveness where unforgivable things were done
