Pat Barrett – When I Look at The Blood

Lyrics: When I Look at The Blood by Pat Barrett

When I look at the blood
All I see is love, love, love
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God

But I can’t see competition
I can’t see hierarchy
I can’t see pride or prejudice
Or the abuse of authority
I can’t see lust for power
I can’t see manipulation
I can’t see rage or anger
Or selfish ambition

When I look at the blood
All I see is love, love, love
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God

But I can’t see unforgiveness
I can’t see hate or envy
I can’t see stupid fighting
Or bitterness or jealousy
I can’t see empire building
I can’t see self-importance
I can’t see backstabbing
Or vanity, or arrogance

When I look at the blood
All I see is love, love, love
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God

And I see surrender
I see sacrifice
I see salvation
I see humility
I see righteousness
I see faithfulness
I see grace
I see forgiveness

I see love
I see love
I see selfless love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love
I see love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
I see love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love
I see love, love, love (Everywhere around me)
Love, love, love (There when I wake up in the morning)
Love, love, love (Always by my side)
Love, love, love
Love, love, love (When I lie down)
Love, love, love (When I stand up)
Love, love, love (Oh, I can see)
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love (All I can see is)
Love, love, love
Love, love, love (Oh, I see)
Love, love, love
Love, love, love (I see)
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love (All around me)
Love, love, love (I see)
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

When I look at the blood
All I see is love, love, love
When I stop at the cross
I can see the love of God

I see love
I see love
