“Love is War” by Hillsong UNITED is a contemporary Christian worship song that explores the idea of God’s love battling against the negative forces in our lives.
The song starts by highlighting the contrast between God’s grace and mercy, and the sinfulness of humanity. The lyrics talk about Jesus sacrificing himself on the cross to take the burden of our sins. The chorus then describes a commitment to follow God’s teachings and experience the triumph of Jesus’ sacrifice.
The second verse dives deeper into the internal struggle. The singer asks for God’s love to be their companion in the fight against their own pride and desires. The bridge offers a message of hope, acknowledging that Jesus’ love has already conquered everything and his resurrection allows us to live a life following him.

Love is War Lyrics by Hillsong UNITED
[Verse 1]
In Your justice and Your mercy
Heaven walked the broken road
Here to fight this sinner’s battle
Here to make my fall Your own
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn my eyes to see Your face
As all my fears surrender
Hold my heart within this grace
Where burden turns to wonder
[Chorus 1]
And I will fight to follow
And I will fight for love
Throw my life forever
To the triumph of the Son
[Verse 2]
Let Your love be my companion
In the war against my pride
Long to break all vain obsession
Till You’re all that I desire
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn my eyes to see Your face
As all my fears surrender
Hold my heart within this grace
Where burden turns to wonder
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
[Chorus 1]
And I will fight to follow
And I will fight for love
Throw my life forever
To the triumph of the Son
[Chorus 2]
And I know Your love has won it all
You took the fall
To embrace my sorrows
And I know You took the fight
You came and died but the grave was borrowed
And I know You stood again
So I can stand with a life to follow
In the light of Your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn my eyes to see Your face
As all my fears surrender
Hold my heart within this grace
Where burden turns to wonder
[Chorus 1]
And I will fight to follow
And I will fight for love
Throw my life forever
To the triumph of the Son
[Chorus 2]
And I know Your love has won it all
You took the fall
To embrace my sorrows
And I know You took the fight
You came and died but the grave was borrowed
And I know You stood again
So I can stand with a life to follow
In the light of Your name
Your love has won it all
You took the fall
To embrace my sorrows
And I know You took the fight
You came and died but the grave was borrowed
And I know You stood again
So I can stand with a life to follow
In the light of Your name
