Sometimes Love

Chris Rice

Is our world spinning backwards?

What has brought about this change?

Can't you see that people aren't the same?

I wish I were dreamin'

And could wake up from my sleep

And find us all the way we used to be.

Cause the love that used to be is dying

Is anybody even trying?

And I don't know how, I don't know why

But something is my soul is crying



Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand

Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand

One pair of hands,

Broke some bread and washed some feet

Opened eyes and soothed an angry sea,

Belonged to a man

Who could see the deepest need



And showed us the way it has to be

'Cause he knew the price that love requires

And he laid down His own desires

He stretched out His hands to save His friends

And said no other love is higher



Love can change us, love can make a way

Only love can change us, love can make a way.



I wish I were dreamin'

And could wake up from my sleep

And find us all the way we used to be
