I once was a lost and bitter young man
Till Christ showed me He’s the way.
The way for a man to be like God is
Doing what He did.
And what did He do but give up His life
That other people might live.
And compassion like that is from above,
And I couldn’t fight the love.
So I gave up my life, and He gave me His.
Now I don’t sin anymore,
For “he that is dead is freed from sin.”
There’s only love now within.
And God and His love obeys all His laws
Inside me, loving neighbor as self.
And action like this is from above,
And you just can’t fight the love.
Until that day you hear the Master say,
“I want to make you my son.”
And, oh, that light from up above,
And you just can’t fight the–
You’d better not fight the–
You just can’t fight the love. Kenneth Wayne Hancock
