Have you listed all the times you've tried 

Do you call on all your alibis 

When somebody asks the question why are you hiding 


did you feel the pull, did you hear a call 

did you take a chance and lose it all 

do you fear there's no collateral left for trying 


Friend I know your heart is raw 

But love is still a worthy cause 

Picking up and pressing on 

Oh love is still a worthy cause 

It's the touch that starts the thaw 

Love is still a worthy cause 

or the word that breaks the pause 

Love 


It's the beauty in the tales we tell 

It's the pushing through and ending well 

and finding strength to give ourselves away 


in the midst of passing bravery 

in the face of our own injury 

It's the constant generosity of grace 


Friend I know your heart is raw 

But love is still a worthy cause 

Picking up and pressing on 

Oh love is still a worthy cause 

It's the touch that starts the thaw 

Love is still a worthy cause 

or the word that breaks the pause 

Love 


I love because he loved me 

when I had nothing 

I love because he loved me 

when I had nothing 

I love because he loved me 

when I had nothing
