WHEN I LOOK AT THE BLOOD
All I see is love love love
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God
But I can’t see competition
I can’t see hierarchy
I can’t see pride or prejudice
Or the abuse of authority
I can’t see lust for power
I can’t see manipulation
I can’t see rage or anger or selfish ambition
When I look at the blood
All I see is love love love
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God
But I can’t see unforgiveness
I can’t see hate or envy
I can’t see stupid fighting;
Or bitterness or jealousy
I can’t see empire building
I can’t see self-importance
I can’t see back stabbing or vanity
Or arrogance
When I look at the blood
All I see is love love love
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God
And I see surrender sacrifice
Salvation humility
Righteousness faithfulness
Grace forgiveness
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
(Repeat)
Godfrey Birtill
