Song Description

A song about deciding to love rather than lambast...

Lyrics

All these angry shouts sure have left no doubt
Exactly what it takes to be in or out and what it is that we stand for
Still we feel the need to make sure they're heeding
All these hateful creeds that we've been force-feeding
But I can't live that way no more (can't live that way no more)

I'm gonna err on the side of love
I'm willing to take the chance that Grace will be enough
I know I'm not right on so many things
But everywhere I may be wrong
I'm gonna err on the side of Love.

Maybe we're afraid to step into the shade
And offer light to one who has strayed
Cuz our own fire's gotten far too dim
But what if we could chance to let down our stance,
Put down our banners long enough for them to glance
The kind of love they'll find in Him...(they'll only find in Him)

And if He says "You can't come in
'Cuz you didn't love to hate the sinner enough"
the joke's on me...

But I'm gonna err on the side of love.
