Ain't nothing but God
Can save us now.
No guns, no war,
Against or for
Can save us now.
No philosophy or democracy,
No sugar-coated fantasy,
No government, no agency,
No empty generosity
Can save us now.
No music, no song,
No words, right or wrong,
No marriage lifelong
Ain't no human love so strong
To save us now.
No anger, no hate,
No impassioned debate,
No speeches to make,
No lives we can take
To save us now.
No fists to the sky
Or flags flying high,
No protests, no cries,
Or tears in your eyes
Can save us now.
But there's hope, and it's clear
Like sunrise, appears,
And we've gotta draw near
'Cause it's the only thing here
That can save us now.
God is the end
Of the mess that we're in,
Of the war we can't win
'Cause love straight from Him
Can save us now.
And we're running away,
Farther from Him each day,
But black, white, or gray,
Nothing we do, nothing we say,
Ain't nothing but God
Can save us now.
