Verse 1:
Lord You know that I love You
Lord You know that I want You
Lord You know that I want to follow You
But sometimes Lord I feel that You want me to do
Something I could never ever do
Verse 2:
Love someone that has hurt me
Love someone that has shamed me
Love someone that might never love me
Oh sometimes Lord I feel
that they’ll never ever change
However long I have ever prayed for them
Chorus:
But help me to love anyway
And help me to forgive anyway
And help me to love even when it hurts
Help me to love anyway
Verse3:
Oh this journey is so lonely
Oh this journey is so difficult
Oh this journey will probably break my heart
For You know Lord I feel that they’ll never understand
Why I’d want to love them anyway
Verse 4:
Love someone that has hurt me
Love someone that has shamed me
Love someone that might never love me
Oh sometimes Lord I feel
that they’ll never ever change
However long I have ever prayed for them
Chorus:
But help me to love anyway
And help me to forgive anyway
And help me to love even when it hurts
Help me to love anyway
Bridge:
Lord I know that You love me
And I know that You forgive me
Lord I know that You’ve done the same for me
The many times I’ve walked away
Chorus:
So help me to love anyway
And help me to forgive anyway
And help me to love even when it hurts
Help me to love anyway
Coda:
But help me to love anyway
And help me to forgive anyway
And help me to love even when it hurts
Help me to love anyway
Help me to love anyway
