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

[Chorus]
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

In the midst of passing bravery
In the face of our own injury
It's the constant generosity of grace

It's the beauty in the tales we tell
It's the pushing through and ending well
And finding strength to give ourselves away

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

It's the beauty in the tales we tell
It's the pushing through and ending well
And finding strength to give ourselves away
