Lyrics
A HEART OF LOVE
VERSE 1
Bm7 A G Bm7 A G Bm7 A G
Wars & rumors of war, nation will rise against nation, disasters and earthquakes in various places....
G A G
signs of the end to come;
G D A G D A
malice & envy abound, being hated by & hating each other...
Bm7 A G G A G
the love of men has grown cold, there's no compassion for their brothers
VERSE 2 (same chords as verse 1)
Families being destroyed by drinking, drugs and adultery, man against wife, son against father, daughter against mother;
Innocent lives are destroyed, abused & neglected children and elders....the love of men has grown cold, there's no compassion for their brothers
CHORUS
But the Lord said:
G D A G D A
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you....
Bm7 A G G A G
I will take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of love
G D A G D A
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you....
Bm7 A G G A D
I will take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of love
VERSE 3
Bm7 A G Bm7 A G Bm7 A G
Famine & poverty, homelessness & loss, intolerance hatred towards one another...
G A G
killing for no reason
G D A G D A
Darkness covers the earth, and if you look into the eyes of our children;
Bm7 A G G A G
they see chaos, confusion, no hope for a future, no help to be found...
G D A G D A
the love of men has grown cold, the love of men has grown cold,
Bm7 A G G A G
the love of men has grown cold....there's no compassion for their brothers
But the Lord said:
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you....I will take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of love (repeat)
Lord put a new spirit in me, pour out your spirit in me (repeat 2x)
Lord put a new spirit in me, pour out your spirit in me....so that I can love my brother
