Love Will Find A Way
Lyrics
All we hold is frail and brief
Patched together by belief
The pattern only partially
Revealed for us to see
What are tears but seeds we sow?
In fields unseen such harvests grow
Whose joys will one day overflow
The measure of our grief
If God is love
Then love we trust
Is strong enough
To hold our sorrow
If God is love
He carries us
We need not fear
Our tears tomorrow
Love will heal us
If God is love
If mercy bled from the nail’s bite
And grace poured from his wounded side
And Christ would rather choose to die
Than live without his bride
Then suffering is no enemy
And poverty no poverty
And death our greatest victory
When swallowed up in life
chorus
Bridge
Though sorrow surge at every step
Yet goodness is assured
For none that harms or troubles here
Shall speak the final word
Chorus
Scraps & Variations
If God is love
Then love we trust
Is strong enough
To hold our (sorrow/weakness)
If God is love
He carries us
We need not fear
[(Our tears/What comes) tomorrow/The tears that reach us/What tears may reach us]
Love will heal us
If God is love
Though (grief may follow/sorrow surge at) every step
Yet goodness is assured
For none that harms or troubles here
Shall (have/speak) the final word
Though grief may follow every good/kiss/step
Shall have/speak the final word
What comes/The day/world
Is it strange that we should also/should wake to find
Our wounds one day redeemed
All will be well/We are all known/held close
Then sorrow/suffering is no enemy
And poverty no poverty
And death our greatest/becomes our victory
And tears a priceless crown
And suffering our crown/And tears our jeweled crowns
If mercy crossed that chasm wide
That is our sin our guilt our pride
And Christ had rather choose to die
Than live without us now
And heaven worth the price/And our prize/
And God would rather die than live
Without his children now
If God so loved
This broken world/The worst of us
And gave his Son/To give His Son
Anything that comes tomorrow/What the day will bring tomorrow/For tomorrow
For our redemption
If God so loved
Then love we trust
Is strong enough
We will be/We are held secure/
This world so much
To give his son/He gave his son
To carry us
Beyond tomorrow
We are saved/anchored/held/We will be okay
If God is love
If God is love
Then love we trust
Is strong enough
To hold/bear our sorrow
For God has loved
So much that Christ
Would choose to die
Rather than to live without us
We are saved/anchored/held
If God is love
And paid in sacrifice such price
(Required/As must) to make amends
Disarmed as life begins
And death a door that (quickly/soonest) we
Forget as life begins
And death a door that briefly we
Approach as life begins
If God is love
Then love we trust
Is strong enough
To hold our sorrow
For God has loved
So much that Christ
Would rather die
Than live without us
For God is love
If God is love
Then let us trust
He is strong enough
To carry us for
God has loved
And chose in/given Christ
To rather die
Than live without us
So much that Christ
Would rather die
Than live without us
For God is love
And death a (fleeting/passing/fading) memory
As life at last begins
For what is lost or disappears
But that redeemed shall reappear?
For none that pains or troubles here
(Will/Shall) have the final word
For what is lost or disappears
But that redeemed shall reappear?
If we close our hearts we miss
The beauty/Redemption that can come of this
If God is love
Then love we trust/Then (we will/let us) trust
Is strong enough/He’s strong enough
To hold onto us/To carry us for
For God has loved
And chose in Christ
To rather die
Than live without us
So much that Christ
Would choose to die
Than live without us
And proved in Christ
He would rather die
Than live without us
Perceived amidst the need
And chose in Christ
To rather die
Than live without us
And crucified/And shown in Christ/And paid such price
Would rather die
Than live without us
Jesus I don’t want to miss
Anything that comes of this
Though grief may follow every kiss
And gardens go to seed
The memory of our grief
As will in time redeem/surpass all loss
Joy we reap
