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
