Fearless Love Lyrics - 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 

When fearless love, fearless love 

Fearless love makes you cross the border 

Oh yes, the high religious still will scorn 

Just like they 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 

When fearless love, fearless love 

Fearless love makes you cross the border
