Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All these preachers on my feed,
always naming who’s astray.
Talking loud about the “compromised,”
as if they know the better way.
And I feel my heart grow heavy,
with the weight of every claim
Faith was never meant to twist
into a guessing game.
[Verse 2]
Scrolling down through all their warnings,
every post a sharpened spear.
They don’t ask for understanding,
they just tighten lines of fear.
And I wonder how they missed it,
how their love turned into guard
How a softer word of mercy
became too high, too hard.
[Chorus]
Tolerance…
They can call me what they want.
Tolerance…
I won’t break beneath their taunts.
If the kindness of the Lord is what
once led me to His arms
Tolerance…
I’ll choose love over harm.
[Verse 3]
I remember when I was younger,
struggling just to find my place.
How the truth felt like a lifeline,
how it pulled me into grace.
But I never heard Him whisper
with the scorn I hear today
He was patient with my failures,
softly guiding me His way.
[Verse 4]
Now the hunters shout for purity,
as if purity were theirs.
Calling out the weaker brother,
counting victories in stares.
But the Lord who watches closely
knows the darkest parts of men
And He heals us, not by force,
but by His love again.
[Chorus]
Tolerance…
They can call me what they want.
Tolerance…
I won’t bend beneath their taunts.
If the kindness of the Lord is what
once led me to His arms
Tolerance…
I’ll choose love over harm.
[Bridge]
Oh, the camps we build around us,
oh, the pride that blinds the soul.
Do they think the Lord is pleased
with all this taking of control?
When the truth becomes a weapon,
and the wounded flee the light
Tell me, where is all the mercy
that should turn their hearts to right?
[Chorus - Reprise]
Tolerance…
Let them whisper, let them judge.
Tolerance…
I won’t meet their spite with grudge.
For the kindness of the Lord is still
the song that keeps me warm
Tolerance…
His love steadies every storm.
