Gentle Revolution

You weren’t at all what they expected
You didn’t take your throne by force
And yet the world has never been the same
Since you altered history’s course
Where there was shame you brought forgiveness
Where there was hate you came with love
Your every action bearing witness
And that was more than enough
Heart by heart
In a world so torn
Love began a gentle revolution
Life by life
Your quiet storm
Built into a gentle revolution
There’s so much that still needs changing
So many lives so deep in need
May we be humble in the way we serve
With the love that sets us free
Let us be the hands of mercy
Crossing boundaries as we go
Let us share the peace of Jesus
And be the voice of hope
Repeat Chorus
My life used to be a battlefield
Oh Lord, how well I remember
Grace had me surrounded
What could I do but surrender
Heart by heart
In a world so torn
Love is still a gentle revolution
Life by life
Your quiet storm
Built into a gentle revolution
