Live and let live, oh Lord
Let Your peace reign
They're taking innocent lives in the darkness of night
Boko Haram spreading terror, kidnapping our light
Bandits in the streets causing families to weep
Corruption in high places running so deep
Injustice on the throne while the righteous cry
But we lift our voices up to the Most High
God see the carnage, see the broken land
We're crying out for mercy, reaching for Your hand
Live and let live, that's the way we should be
Love your neighbor, set the captives free
No more violence, no more evil schemes
Let peace flow like a river in our streets
Hallelujah, we declare today
Choose love over hatred, that's the only way
Live and let live, yes Lord
Live and let live
Every life is sacred, every soul has worth
God created all of us to walk this earth
Stop the killing, stop the greed and lies
Stop making mothers bury children with tears in their eyes
We can choose compassion over the gun
We can choose forgiveness when the battle's won
Praise Him, the answer's in our hands tonight
We can turn from darkness, step into the light
Live and let live, that's the way we should be
Love your neighbor, set the captives free
No more violence, no more evil schemes
Let peace flow like a river in our streets
Hallelujah, we declare today
Choose love over hatred, that's the only way
Live and let live, thank You Jesus
Live and let live
Amen, let Your kingdom come
Peace on earth, amen
