When You Love

"There are things you can pray in your prayers

That you can't sing in your songs

It's like the dreams that lovers share

When they're safely resting in the promise of a love that lasts

Though it leads them on to walk a steeper path

And so sometimes you pray and sometimes you sing

And when you love you thank the Lord for everything

There's a rest you can find in your work

That you can't get out of sleep

And there's a healing that may hurt

And there's a war that must be waged for peace

It don't come ready made

And if you wanna be free you must become a slave

And so sometimes you work and sometimes you rest

But when you love you know it all works out for the best

Oh when you love (When you love)

Oh when you love (When you love)

Oh when you love (When you love)

Oh when you love (When you love)

Oh when you love

There are things you can sing in your songs

When you've learned them in your prayers

And there's a rest that makes you strong

For the work that you've been called to share

In with the sons of Light

And if the Lord should tarry long enough you just might

See that the times were good

Although the times were hard

And when you love you know you've got to thank the Lord

When you love (you gotta thank the Lord)

You gotta love the Lord

When you love

You gotta love the Lord

You gotta love the Lord

You gotta love the Lord"
