Lyrics
If Not For Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In time, they say, all wounds will heal
But time alone would just reveal
The measure of my best intent,
How vainly it would all be spent;
Empty boxes, if not for love.
My prayer never would be heard
The appeal denied without a word
The throne room of my father's house
Closed fast, just to keep me out,
"no admission", if not for love
Chorus:
If not for love the godless would reign
If not for love any light would be shadow
But love was strong, revealed the plan
Man's perfect god, god's perfect man
A cross would stand alone, refused.
A son blessed and not accused.
The savior never sent, blind to the world's lament
No forgiveness, if not for love.
