I was busy minding my own business Simply trying to stay on top of my game Never thinking about consequences Always finding me somebody to blame But then it came together When I read this letter A message from somebody named Paul He wrote of One who bought me All the things he taught me I really thought I'd heard it all
Chorus: Get to the point: I will if you ask me Get to the point how have you changed? I was on sinking ground Until He turned me around And I know I'll never be the same Get to the point: I'm trying to tell you Get to the point what have you done? It is not what I've done But what He's doin' for me And I know we've only just begun
We've only just begun
Now I'm busy mindin' my Father's business Tryin' to do what He told me to And I still have that wonderful letter Knowin' every time I read it it's new Today I never worry My vision's never blurry I've found Someone to handle the stress (Jesus) I know you really need Him So would you like to meet Him I'm prayin' that the answer is yes
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: All your efforts will be in vain (No matter what you do) Trying to save yourself will drive you insane (He sees you through and through) Crossing that final change with confidence (I'm crossing that line) Is what you can do through His providence
Once there was love long ago Sweet innocence long ago Please tell me where did it go Out of our hearts out of our world Then Someone came in the night Came to lead men to the light Turn us around make us right Bring love to our hearts love to the world
Chorus: Let there be peace (around the world) Let there be joy (around the world) Let there be hope (around the world) Let there be love (around the world)
Let there be love
My friend what the world needs now Truly is love, God's love We need to change somehow Changing our hearts changing our world
I know our God He can do His love is strong and His word is true We need to take the Good News Into our hearts into our world
Repeat Chorus
Chorus 2: Let freedom ring (all around the world) Let children sing (all around the world) Crown Jesus King (all around the world) Let there be love (all around the world)
Love in our hearts will bring Change to our world you will see (wait and see) Setting the captives free Causing the blind eyes to see (you will see)
Repeat Chorus

Chorus: Are we teaching the truth in love Telling it like it is Are we holding pure motives, Showing that we care Are we teaching the truth in love
A man came to my Jesus Telling all that he had done To fulfill the good commandments He knew every single one But Jesus said there's something That indeed he did lack The Savior told the truth He didn't hold the message back
He was teaching the truth in love Telling it like it is While holding pure motives And showing that He cared He was teaching the truth in love
A woman caught in evil and without an alibi The truth, so very obvious, made no attempt to lie With all the foes against her how she felt so all alone Until Jesus asked the people who would throw the first stone
He was teaching the truth in love Telling it like it is While holding pure motives And showing that He cared He was teaching the truth in love, in love, in love, in love
Sometimes it's hard to know exactly how we are to share With our Master's words of confidence, directly, do we dare? Should we water down the message, should we tell them only parts? Will they see Him in our message, will they see Him in our hearts?
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Are we teaching the truth in love Telling it like it is Are we holding pure motives, Showing that we care Are we teaching the truth, Are we teaching the truth, Are we teaching the truth in love, in love, in love
