Hate Won’t Make Anything Great
Updated 11/18/23

Intro

[Voiceover]: Research shows that prolonged anger and hatred can seriously damage your health…

Verse 1
He always seemed so angry, shouting out at you
We took him to some doctors, not sure what to do
They checked him out, found nothing wrong and ordered up a scan
They could not find his heart or soul, a shadow of a man
Prechorus
(She said) I’d really like to help you, but hate’s outside my scope”
Chorus
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hope we realize, before it’s too late
Hate won’t make anything great)

Interlude

Verse 2
The preacher said there’s one way out, here’s what you must do
Let the light shine in, it will always welcome you
Let the shadows pass away, leave the hate behind
Let go the spite and anger, forgiveness you will find
Prechorus
He said, “Medicine can’t help you, but Grace will lead to hope

Chorus
Cause hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hope we realize, before it’s too late
Hate won’t make anything great

Bridge
Can we look from the outside in
Pull back, back from where we’ve been
See it through, through each other’s eyes
Finally see the light coming from the sky

Break

Chorus [acapella, claps, scatting]
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great

Chorus/Outro
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything great
Hate won’t make anything
