[Verse 1]
                          G                             Em
There's a stranger on the corner with a story you don't know
                    C                              G
A neighbor fighting battles but they never let you show
                          G                                Em7
We don't have to have the answers, we don't have to fix it all
                 Cadd9                             G
Sometimes all it takes is just to catch somebody's fall
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
                 Em                       C
He never turned away from the broken and afraid
                   G                       Dsus4      D7
He reached out his hands and gave himself away, oh-oh-oh
 
 
[Chorus]
       Cadd9        G
Be the love, be the love
     D                     Em7
Like Jesus when He walked among us
       Cadd9          G
Give a hand, lift him up
         D                Em7
Show the world what mercy does
                          Cadd9   G
When the hurting come our way
                       D   Em7
Let compassion have it say
                 Cadd9
We were love, so we could love
           G
So, be the love
           Em7
Oh, be the love
           Cadd9   G
Oh, be the love
 
 
[Verse 2]
                        G                           Em7
There's a table getting longer when we make another seat
                         Cadd9                             G
There's a blessing in forgiveness when we choose to let it be
                     G                                  Em7
Don't let the lies divide us, lay our pride down at the door
                      Cadd9                                 G
If we say that we are his, then let our lives look like the Lord
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
                      Em7                              Cadd9
He never asked who we were, He just filled us with his glory
                   G                       D
He loved us at our worst and met us in our hurting, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
       C            G
Be the love, be the love
     D                     Em
Like Jesus when He walked among us
       C              G
Give a hand, lift him up
         D                Em
Show the world what mercy does
                          Cadd9   G
When the hurting come our way
                       D   Em7
Let compassion have it say
                 Cadd9
We were love, so we could love
           G
So, be the love
           Em7
Oh, be the love
       Cadd9
Be the love

[Bridge]
Cadd9                  Em7
 Maybe it's a stranger, maybe it's a friend
Cadd9                                G
 Maybe it's the person you swore you never understand
Em                     C               Em               G
 But Jesus crossed the distance, Jesus called us by his name
C                                               D
 And if his love has changed us, then we should never love the same
 
 
[Chorus]
       Cadd9        G
Be the love, be the love
     D                     Em7
Like Jesus when He walked among us
       Cadd9          G
Give a hand, lift him up
         D                G
Show the world what mercy does
                          Cadd9   G
When the hurting come our way
                       D   Em7
Let compassion have it say
                 Cadd9
We were love, so we could love
           G
So, be the love, yeah
       Em7
Be the love
                  Cadd9               G
Let the world see Jesus by the way we love
 
 
[Outro]
       C   G   D   Em7
Be the love
       C    G                         D
Be the love, let's point the world to Jesus
               G
Oh, and be the love
