There is a power in poverty that breaks principalities
it brings the authorities down to their knees
There is a brewing frustration and an ageless temptation
to fight for control by manipulation
The God of the Kingdoms and God of Creation, God of the Nations
sent this revelation through the homeless and penniless Jesus the Son
"The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come"
Where will we turn when our world falls apart and all of the treasures we stored in our barns, can't buy the Kingdom of God?
And who will we praise when we've praised all our lives, men who build kingdoms and men who build fame, but Heaven does not know their names?
And what are we going to fear, when all that remains is a God on the throne with a child in his arms and love in His eyes?
And the sound of His heart cry...
Take us way beyond religion
Way beyond the minds of man
Take us way beyond religion
Way beyond the minds of man
Take us way beyond politics and the ways of this world
Oh deeper, We want to go deeper
Deeper into the ways of you Jesus
Teach us how to love
Teach me how to love
Teach us...
The world is wide open
The world is wide open
It's wide open
Teach us your ways Jesus
We want to walk in your truth
Son and daughters of the living God
All of heaven is waiting on us
It's waiting
I hear all of creation crying, "We're waiting"
Show us how to love
Teach us how to love
Stop telling us you are the chosen people,
Start living like a chosen people
I am calling your name, every son and daughter in the Church today....
Teach them that my ways are far beyond the ways of man
My ways are far beyond religion
My ways are far beyond one people
My ways are higher than your ways
Teach them how to love
The world is wide open
Teach us how to love
It's time
We are sons and daughters of the living God
