Verse 1

We thought You wanted temples
And blood above our doors
We thought You wanted vengeance
And all out holy wars
We thought that You were distant
You were far away
But You are here and You are love

Verse 2

We thought we’d have to prove ourselves
To ever feel Your love
We thought that blood and sacrifice
Would somehow be enough
We thought that You were angry God
You were far away
But You are here and You are love

Chorus

Thank God we don’t have to worry
Thank God we don’t have to pay
All our wrongs are covered in Your glory
Thank God thank God

Verse 3

We thought that life was hopeless
And heaven was the end
We thought Your love could only reach
A fraction of our friends
We thought we’d never make it God
We were far away
But You are here and You are love

Verse 4

God help us love our neighbors
Help us be a light
Help us love our husbands
And help us serve our wives
Keep us far from evil
Keep us far away
'Cause You are here and You are love

Chorus

Thank God we don’t have to worry
Thank God we don’t have to pay
All our wrongs are covered in Your glory
Thank God thank God

Bridge

God help us love our neighbors
Help us be a light
Help us love our husbands
And help us serve our wives
