Viewing lyrics for In the Name of God by Susan Shann.

How long will we heed the battle cry
Choosing weapons, choosing sides
Trade the truth for one more lie
How long must our children live with hatred
In this world that we’ve created
We can’t let another day go by

In the name of God, in the name of peace
In the name of mercy, we will find release
To feel that glory, to know that grace
To see it shining in every stranger’s face
To finally be forgiven
For all that we become and all we’re not
In the name of God

How long ‘til we dare to live the dream
Show the world that we believe
Change the course of history
How long ‘til there’s food for every mouth
Enough faith to end the doubt
Can you see it with me now?

In the name of God, in the name of peace
In the name of mercy, we will find release
To feel that glory, to know that grace
To see it shining in every stranger’s face
To finally be forgiven
For all that we become and all we’re not
In the name of God

So hold on, ‘cause the light is gonna come
The long night will be over
And we will live as one

In the name of God, in the name of peace
In the name of mercy, we will find release
We’ll feel that glory, we’ll know that grace
We’ll see it shining in every stranger’s face
And we’ll finally be forgiven
For all that we become and all we’re not
In the name of God
In the name of God
In the name of God
