There is a burden we’ve been carrying for so long
Carried it through days and nights and years
and many, many tears
Maybe it’ll be over now
There are still some things
That will never be explained
Some things we will never know
Things we will never understand
Things that could drive a soul insane
Love
Sometimes it seems so absurd
No matter what your feelings say
They cannot always have their way
Let love have the last word
Love
Even when your vision’s blurred
Though you may feel like giving in
To the rage that is within
Let love have the last word
We keep on praying for strength
To keep going through the hardest days
Pray for courage for the fight
For discernment in the night
Pray for wisdom on our way
Pray for peace and freedom
To let it go and give it up
Faith to leave it His hands
Not forget that God is God
And to remember we are not
Love
At times it seems so absurd
No matter what your feelings say
And though they’re rising up again
Let love have the last word
Love
When it feels like justice isn’t heard
Though you may feel the spite of sin
We will not let evil win
Let love have the last word
’Cause you see, with love
We don’t always get what we deserve
Although we may not understand
We will leave it in God’s hands
Let love have the last word
We believe in love
Love that is not of this world
No matter what your feelings say
They cannot always have their way
Let love have the last word
