lyrics versions 1 and 2
Sorry, I left my voice in Australia. It'll catch up with me on a later flight [Spoken]
Love is warm if love is real
But if it's false and cold as steel
It can break your heart
Tear your dreams apart
But love can bless you when it's true
Give you hope and guide you through
The darkest corridor
That's what love is for
You have come and now the emptiness is gone
You hung a light between the darkness and the dawn
Don't be pushing back and forth, you're gonna hurt somebody. You go stand out there by yourself and rock if you want. Yeah. This ain't rock and roll you know, this is the christian life. Not supposed to sway back and forth, supposed to stand tall and eh, solid and [Spoken]
I love you and you love me
If I am all I'll ever be
Is that enough for you
And hope will guide us through
We grow strong, our hearts grow well
We withstand the gates of hell
And walk towards heaven's door
That's what love is for
You have come and now the emptiness is gone
You hung a light between the darkness and the dawn
I keep remembering sorrow from the past
Look ahead tomorrow to brighter days
Without your love my hope would never last
True love comes from the father
I, I keep remembering
It is the last verse soon. Hey this ain't show business, I'm only here because this is life [Spoken]
Life is hard but love abides
Through the storms and raging tides
We're safe upon the shore
That's what love is for
We're safe upon the shore
That's what love is for
That's what love is for
That's what love is for
Love is warm if love is real
But if it's false and cold as steel
It can break your heart
Tear your dreams apart
But love can bless you when it's true
Give you hope and guide you through
The darkest corridor
That's what love is for
You have come and now the emptiness is gone
You hung a light between the darkness and the dawn
Don't be pushing back and forth, you're gonna hurt somebody. You go stand out there by yourself and rock if you want. Yeah. This ain't rock and roll you know, this is the christian life. Not supposed to sway back and forth, supposed to stand tall and eh, solid and [Spoken]
I love you and you love me
If I am all I'll ever be
Is that enough for you
And hope will guide us through
We grow strong, our hearts grow well
We withstand the gates of hell
And walk towards heaven's door
That's what love is for
You have come and now the emptiness is gone
You hung a light between the darkness and the dawn
I keep remembering sorrow from the past
Look ahead tomorrow to brighter days
Without your love my hope would never last
True love comes from the father
I, I keep remembering
It is the last verse soon. Hey this ain't show business, I'm only here because this is life [Spoken]
Life is hard but love abides
Through the storms and raging tides
We're safe upon the shore
That's what love is for
We're safe upon the shore
That's what love is for
That's what love is for
That's what love is for
