A suffering soul on the way to the kingdom of heaven
Held up a sign that said "God hates America"
A child has been lost
A mother is shocked and is grieving
And turning away

He said: "There is a love that is so hideous and destructive
We must drive it from earth to save all of our children"
He must know it well in the night it's the hell that he speaks of
That keeps him awake
Keeps him awake

My God is love
My God is peace
My God loves you
My God loves me

A suffering soul on the way to the kingdom of heaven
Prayed in the dark: "Death to the infidel!"
He strapped all his desperate pain and his faith to his body
Then blew them away

A suffering soul on the way to the kingdom of heaven
Shouts on the news: "They are the godless ones"
But the anger inside and the fear that it hides
Never leave her when the cameras are gone
When the cameras move on

People, come on tell me, where is your kingdom of heaven?
Where is your faith?
Where do you put your fear?
Do you have a price for truth and a price for believing?

Heaven is here
Heaven is here

My God is love
My God is peace
My God is you
And my God is me
