What Would Love Say - Neal Mccoy

My little boy came home from school

Said daddy some bully picked a fight today

He pushed me down on the playground

Kicked me in the stomach and spit in my face

I took one look at his little black eye

And I felt my temper like a tempest rise

I asked daddy stand his ground

Did he get back up and knock him down

Did he make his daddy proud

Did he make him pay

And he said

Daddy I tried to be a man today

And they all laughed and called me chicken

When I turned and walked away

I wanted so bad to hit him

But in my mind I heard you say

What would love do

What would love do

What would love say

He said daddy are you disappointed

And it took what little breath I had left

To tell him he was just the son I wanted

And it takes a big man to forgive and forget

I looked into my little angel's face

And I felt the power of amazing grace

Lord help me practice what I preach

Teach me to turn the other cheek

Though my spirit's willing still my flesh is weak

But I heard you when he said

Daddy I tried to be a man today

And they all laughed and called me chicken

When I turned and walked away

I wanted so bad to hit him

But in my mind I heard you say

What would love do

What would love do

What would love say

What would love do

What would love say
