I know we don't see eye to eye We've let angry hearts flare and the bitter words fly The common ground we used to share Is harder to find but I believe that it's still there. I don't know if now is the time To surrender the silence between your heart and mine But the love that I've chosen cries out to be spoken Leaving the heartache behind. Chorus: We must reach out beyond justice to mercy Going more than halfway to forgive And though the distance seems so far The love that used to hold our hearts Longs to take us beyond justice to mercy. It doesn't matter who's to blame The love that I have for you is still the same A tender voice is calling me To that place of compassion where hearts run pure and free Where the hunger for vengeance gives way to repentance Where love will teach us to see. We can reach out beyond justice to mercy Going more than halfway to forgive And thought the distance seems so far The love that used to hold our hearts Longs to take us beyond justice to mercy. To mercy, to mercy. Chorus: We must reach out beyond justice to mercy Going more than halfway to forgive And though the distance seems so far The love that used to hold our hearts Longs to take us beyond justice to mercy...
