lyrics version 1
The deeper I go the more I know nothing's ever as it seems
So I turn the page and take another look
A mighty raging river grows from a tiny stream
The earth was formed, a single word was all it took
Wind of the spirit is whispering through the night
Fire of judgement is burning clear and bright
You said it long ago and now I know it's true
There's a danger in loving you
The deeper I go the more I know why you said to count the cost
You never make a promise you can't keep
The dearest of our treasure must be given up and lost
The seed must die before it's time to leap
The cycle will be broken on the truth he's sure to find
With joy and sorrow so closely intertwined
No wonder that this journey is taken by so few
Yeah there's danger in loving you
In loving you
In loving you
The deeper I go the more I know why the warrior stands alone
And the sleepers can't be bothered through the night
Because they're up inside their castle and behind their bricks and stone
And all they want is shelter from the fight
Oh yes but I could never choose to live so safely and content
I want to run the highest road before my life is spent
I know that you're beside me and you'll always see me through
Every danger
I'll never fear the danger
There is a joyous danger
In loving you, in loving you father
(Aah ah ah) In loving you pastor
(Aah ah ah) In loving you saviour
(Aah ah ah) In loving you
(Aah ah ah) In loving you
(Aah ah ah) You know I love you
(Aah ah ah) I may not show it all the time
(Aah ah ah) But I love you
(Aah ah ah) I love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Help me to love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Gee sweet love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Make me love you more on each day (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Help me not to run and go my own way (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) Help me love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) I want to love you (Hoy)
(Aah ah ah) (Hoy) [x7]
(Hoy) [x3]
So I turn the page and take another look
A mighty raging river grows from a tiny stream
The earth was formed, a single word was all it took
Wind of the spirit is whispering through the night
Fire of judgement is burning clear and bright
You said it long ago and now I know it's true
There's a danger in loving you
The deeper I go the more I know why you said to count the cost
