Is that my neighbor who's feeling down?
Thought I should just do some good and turn his life around
Offered my hand but saw pain in his eyes
His voice I heard, three simple words, he asked “My brother, why”
“Your empty lies, you use to disapprove
They never speak God's truth”
Will you take my hand without your judgment or your creed
Will you call me brother without looking down at me
Can you show our Savior's mercy isn't optional
Will you show a love that's truly unconditional?”
I left my neighbor, tears in my eyes
Why would he choose, dare to accuse my always-giving life
Had I not offered my hand in his need
But still he finds, I've closed my eyes to those that I should see
And yet his words now start to ring so true
Can I believe anew?
Will you start a life that celebrates the God of love?
Will you put away the fears that you've been frightened of?
Can you show our Savior's call is unmistakable
All He wants is love that's truly unconditional
Would you stand in the way of what you do not understand
Praise His name with hatred in your hands
He won't care if you were right
He won't dwell upon your rules
All He'll ask is if you've shown compassion to the few?
Will you take my hand without your judgment or your creed
Will you call me brother without looking down at me
Can you show our Savior's mercy isn't optional
Will you show a love that's truly unconditional?” (
Start a life that celebrates the God of love

All He wants is love that's truly unconditional
Take my hand without your judgment or your creed
Call me brother without looking down at me
And show our Savior's mercy isn't optional
Now you show a love that's truly unconditional
Now you show a love that's truly – unconditional
