Moves far beyond religion

Verse 2

We are the face of Christ

In a world of shadows

Is it God's love we're fighting for

Or our denomination's ego?

We got to let go of pride

Embrace the idea of difference

Make unity our calling

And move within forgiveness

Pre-Chorus

D Em

We know, we know, we know, we know
