Once there was love long ago Sweet innocence long ago Please tell me where did it go Out of our hearts out of our world Then Someone came in the night Came to lead men to the light Turn us around make us right Bring love to our hearts love to the world (Chorus) Let there be peace (around the world) Let there be joy (around the world) Let there be hope (around the world) Let there be love (around the world) Let there be love My friend what the world needs now Truly is love, God's love We need to change somehow Changing our hearts changing our world I know our God He can do His love is strong and His word is true We need to take the Good News Into our hearts into our world (Chorus) Let freedom ring (around the world) Let children sing (all around the world) Crown Jesus King (around the world) Let there be love (around the world) Love in our hearts will bring Change to our lives you will see Setting the captives free Causing the blind eyes to see (Chorus....)
