Teach Me To Love
by Graham Kendrick

Album: Breaking Of The Dawn


Teach me to love the unlovely O Lord
I don't know that it's me
Teach me to love the impossible people
I really don't like
I don't naturally take to some folks
I can't make out the way that they are
I just don't understand other people
Who just aren't like me at all

Teach me to care when they get in my hair
And get angry with me
Teach me to hope when I feel I can't cope
with their troubles and tears
Come and tell me to try when I'm asking You why
Is it hard to get through
Come and bring me to shame
When I'm putting the blame
On my brother

I never knew love could hurt so much
Till I saw You dying
I never knew love could cost so much
Till I heard You crying

Praying for mercy on soldiers with spears
Crying forgiveness on insults and smears
Suffering my sickness and feeling my pain
Saying You love me again and again and again
Reaching to touch the untouchable hand
Giving Your grace to an ungracious man
That was the way that you loved me and said
'In the same way as this, lay down your life for your friends'

Teach me to love the unlovely O Lord
I don't know that it's me
Teach me to love the impossible people
I really don't like
I don't naturally take to some folks
I can't make out the way that they are
I just don't understand other people
Who just aren't like me at all

Teach me to care when they get in my hair
And get angry with me
Teach me to hope when I feel I can't cope
with their troubles and tears
Come and tell me to try when I'm asking You why
is it hard to get through
Come and bring me to shame
When I'm putting the blame
On my brother

I never knew love could hurt so much
Till I saw You dying
I never knew love could cost so much
Till I heard You crying

Breaking Your heart in the garden of tears
Draining the cup of my sorrows and fears
Bowing Your head as the King to be found
Bearing the curse of the cross in the ....?
Giving Your body to brothers and friends
Laying Your life on the altar
Lamb to be slain
Praying for peace in Your family and friends
Showing that peace never comes without love

That was the way that you loved me and said
'In the same way as this, lay down your life for your friends'
