Turn the Other Cheek

 

Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned. (Matthew 5:39)

Lyric

[Verse 1]

In a world so harsh and cold we strive to find some peace

But when a storm comes rolling in our anger can't release

The words of wisdom echo from a time long ago

To turn the other cheek my friend let love and mercy grow

[Chorus]

Turn the other cheek my friend let love conquer the fight

In a world that's filled with darkness be a shining light

For the blows that we endure let kindness pave the way

Turn the other cheek my friend let love rule the day

[Verse]

In the chaos and the sorrow hearts can lose their way

But through the pain we hold onto the words we hear today

Forgiveness is a power that the strongest can't defeat

Turn the other cheek my friend let love make us complete

[Bridge]

When the fire burns inside and anger starts to swell

Remember all the stories that the wise ones used to tell

Compassion is our weapon in a world that's gone astray

Turn the other cheek my friend and let love lead the way

[Verse]

For every slap we face and every tear we cry

There's a chance to show the world a different way to fly

To rise above the hatred and to bury all the shame

Turn the other cheek my friend in love's eternal name

[Chorus]

Turn the other cheek my friend let love conquer the fight

In a world that's filled with darkness be a shining light

For the blows that we endure let kindness pave the way

Turn the other cheek my friend let love rule the day
