"Why Not Love The Broken?"

It's easy to love, yeah it's easy to love
The people who deserve it
It's easy to love, yeah it's easy to love
The ones who you can choose
It's easy to love
The charming and admired
But is it really love?

It's easy to love, yeah it's easy to love
The kind and gentle-hearted
It's easy to love, yeah it's easy to love
The ones who make it easy to
It's easy to love
All the people that love you
But is that really love?

[chorus]
Why not love the broken
Why not love the lost
Or have you all forgotten
You were purchased at a cost
When you were still an outcast
And hopeless just like them
So love the broken-hearted
In the same way you have been

It's easy to love, yeah it's easy to love
The ones who you relate to
It's easy to love, yeah it's easy to love
People who act just like you do
It's easy to love
People with less baggage
But is it really love?

[chorus]
Why not love the broken
Why not love the lost
Or have you all forgotten
You were purchased at a cost
When you were still an outcast
And hopeless just like them
So love the lonely people
In the same way you have been

You're so good at loving the loveable
The popular and the likeable
Did you forget
That it's the sick
Who are desperately in need of it

[chorus]
Go and love the broken
Go and love the lost
Love is not exclusive
We all gain from a single loss
We were once in darkness
And hopeless just like them
Wayward sons and daughters
Who by His grace were taken in

If our hearts aren't breaking for them
How can we say we are for Him?
