Healing Our Streets

Verse 1:
There’s broken glass on Main Street
And smoke fills up the sky
Neighbors turning on each other
Makes the angels cry
Lord, we’ve lost our way somehow
In anger and in fear
When will we remember love
Is what we’re called to here

Chorus:
Heal our streets, heal our hearts
Bring us back to where love starts
When the world feels torn apart
You’re the light within the dark
Heal our streets, heal our hearts

Verse 2:
Every person has a story
Every soul deserves respect
Help us see past all our differences
And choose love over neglect
For the shopkeeps and the families
For the peace we’ve lost today
Guide us to a better tomorrow
Show us mercy’s way

Chorus:
Heal our streets, heal our hearts
Bring us back to where love starts
When the world feels torn apart
You’re the light within the dark
Heal our streets, heal our hearts

Bridge:
When hatred fills the airwaves
And violence takes the stage
Help us turn the other cheek Lord
And overcome this rage
Your word says love your neighbor
As you love yourself
Put aside our earthly troubles
Trust in nothing else

Verse 3:
From the ashes we can rise up
If we put our trust in You
Build our communities on kindness
Make all broken things like new
Let forgiveness be our anthem
Let compassion be our song
With Your grace we’ll find the courage
To admit when we’ve been wrong

Final Chorus:
Heal our streets, heal our hearts
Bring us back to where love starts
When the world feels torn apart
You’re the light within the dark
Heal our streets, heal our hearts
Lord, heal our hearts

Outro:
There’s still hope on Main Street
If we let Your love shine through
