Let Love In

Let love in
Let love in
The evening news is hard to take
I turn it off, but stay awake
I set a plate beside my own
You shouldn't have to eat alone
I can't fix it all
But I can call
Ask how you've been
And let you in
Let love in
Let love stay
God, keep my heart
From turning away
When I'm tired
When hope wears thin
Keep me open
Let love in
Let love in
Let love stay
A little more
Every day
You take my hand before I speak
You know the days that make me weak
We have enough to share tonight
Your laugh still makes this kitchen bright
I say a prayer
You pull up a chair
We sit a while
Until you smile
Let love in
Let love stay
God, keep my heart
From turning away
When I'm tired
When hope wears thin
Keep me open
Let love in
God, when the anger gets too loud
Help me see faces in the crowd
Before I judge, before I leave
Help me be what somebody needs
Let love in
Let love stay
God, keep my heart
From turning away
When I'm tired
When hope wears thin
Keep me open
Let love in
Let love in
Let love stay
A little more
Every day
