He swings to the left,
She leans to the right,
But that doesn't make a fight a given.
And some pitch their tents
In the middle of the fence,
But it doesn't matter where you're living.
'Cause His spirit's in me,
His spirit's in you,
So there's a common bond between us.
And the mission for me
Is the mission for you -
We have a common cause to link us.
Strong love, yeah, people.
Strong, strong love between us.
Strong love, yeah, people,
And you know it's true that
It always must be there.
He worships while he grooves,
She prays and barely moves,
But they're both reflecting pure devotion.
And some go for broke,
Like headless chicken-folk
(Inspiring jokes about poultry-in-motion).
'Cause His spirit's in me,
His spirit's in you,
So there's a common bond between us.
And the mission for me
Is the mission for you -
We have a common cause to link us.
Strong love, yeah, people.
Strong, strong love between us.
Strong love, yeah, people,
And you know it's true that
It always must be there.
Now don't just agree
And then wait on history -
This is not a duty-free abstraction.
Divisions get blurred
And the message gets heard
By putting Jesus' words in action.
It's a master design.
It's a million-watt sign.
You can see it shine like patent leather.
It's the way people see
How heaven's gonna be
When we live in unity together.
Strong love, yeah, people.
Strong, strong love between us.
Strong love, yeah, people,
And you know it's true that
It always must be there.
Strong love, yeah, people.
Strong, strong love between us.
Strong love, yeah, people,
And you know it feels like
It always will be there.
