Late one night I had a notion
An epiphany would be a better word
So I stumbled in the dark down to the ocean
And I pulled my broken heart out of the surf

I had told her I did not have much to offer
And I had told her I would treat her like a queen
But I guess I wasn't worth what I would cost her
So the night has brought me to this coral reef

So down to the water I will come
To raise for her this castle with my hands
And steal away before the morning sun
'Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can

So night on night and year on year
Well, I worked until my hands no longer bled
And I let the ocean bear away my tears
So that she would know that I could love her best

And a desert's just a sea without a shore
And a lonely man at worst is still a man
And I ain't gonna cry for her no more
'Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can

I often dreamed I saw her face among the people
Who'd come to see the coral fortress I had built
But it may as well have been another seagull
And the castle is there waiting for her still

So down to the water I will come 
To wander through this castle on the sand 
And steal away before the morning sun
'Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can 
I don't need her love to love her all I can

When love has got you in its throes
Even the summer's heat just freezes your soul.
And the sweetest song -
It just clanks along,
And the morning dew just says goodnight,
And leaves your heart undone.
It doesn't do to try and understand.
Nothin' that's as good as love ever made a lot of sense.
Like how the eagles fly
And how the rattlers slide
And what it is that comes to bind a woman and her man.

CHORUS:
Love's as strong as death my love.
Unyielding as the grave.
Relentless as the desert sun.
And rivers cannot wash my love away.
Lord, I won't let it wash away.

And many waters cannot quench love.
There ain't nothing left to soothe you with.
Love has marked your soul the way the sun has marked your skin.
And there ain't no way to find no shade
When your soul's the very thing
That feeds the blaze that burns within you.
It just makes your cold heart melt.
The flames that burn as white as the very flames of hell.
So just hold on tight,
'Cause it's a long, wild ride
When you finally find the grace to love another as yourself.

CHORUS:
Love's as strong as death my love.
Unyielding as the grave.
Relentless as the desert sun.
And rivers cannot wash my love away, away!
I won't let it wash away.
And many waters, it cannot quench love.

On a hill far away stands a tall mighty tree
Where a boy and girl used to take turns pushing the tire swing
I remember the pocketknife in hand
And her name in my heart
And thinkin' there ain't no way for a boy to contain
The love that he feels inside

CHORUS:
So I carved her name into my tree
Then I carved a heart around her name
Then I carved an arrow through the heart
Just to say "I love you."

Now on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
I remember the nails through my hands
And your name in my heart
And how in their wordless way the nails explain
The love that I feel inside

CHORUS:
As they carved your name into my tree
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Then I took your arrow through my heart
Just to say, "I love you"
Just to say, "I love you"

Now I can never forget how much you mean to me
'Cause I will always remember whenever I see
Where I carved your name into my tree
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Then I took your arrow through my heart
Just to say, "I love you"
Just to say, "I love you"
I really love you

I'd cross the plains to California
Be back in Boston By the break of day
Do anything to show I care for you
Do anything for a love so true
And if your heart were under lock and key
I'd scale the castle walls to set it free
If you were born in another age
I'd turn the hands of time, I'd find a way

Heaven knows I will go, I will follow
Heaven knows I will go, I will follow
And if fate had carved a canyon wide
And you were caught on the other side
I'd cry some tears deep as the ocean blue
And swim that great divide to get to you

What is logic compared to love
From the depths of the sea to the stars above
I will follow

Our love knows no limits
And our love knows no bounds
Hear it ring through the hills and canyons
Isn't love profound

It shows us the life that we know we can live
It teaches us how to forget and forgive
It gives us the harvest from sweet mercy fields
It rescues, it nurtures, it calms and it heals

'Cause our love knows no limits
And our love knows no bounds
Oh, it confounds the wisest of sages
Isn't love profound

Oh, it sings when we're weary
from so many tears
And rocking us gently it cradles our fears
In those times when we feel like
we've come to our end
It gives us the strength to start over again

"Cause our love knows no limits
And our love knows no bounds
It will stand even tried by fire
Isn't love profound

Our love knows no limits

And our love knows no bounds
Hear it ring through the hills and canyons
Isn't love profound

In open fields of wild flowers,
she breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,

"I want to fall in love with You"

Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,

"I want to fall in love with You"

It seems too easy to call you "Savior",
Not close enough to call you "God"
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion

"I want to fall in love with You"

"my heart beats for You"

Just when things get a little too tough
Maybe you don't know what to do
This great big world comes a little undone
And you need a hand to hold on to

Every hour, every day, every minute
Take a look and you will find
That I will be your rescue
Baby, like you've been mine

Just send a message if there's trouble here
I could be oceans away
Just send a message to me loud and clear
Baby, I'll be there for you

Hold me close, don't you ever let go
We gotta love that was meant to be
The day we met, I'll never forget
Fate smiled at destiny

Everyone, every once in a while
Feels lost and alone sometimes
But you don't have to worry
Baby, I'll be by you side

Just send a message if there's trouble here
I could be oceans away
I'll go the distance, baby, don't you fear

I would sail the sea of lonesome
To an island of despair
I would search the streets of heartache
'Cause no other love compares
If you're stranded and alone
Out on the edges of the earth
I'd go anywhere for love now , darlin'
I know what it's worth, baby

I'll be there for (you), I'll be, I'll be there for
Just send message, darlin'
Just send message, darlin'
I'll go the distance, baby, don't you fear

Spinning like a wheel
'Round and 'round I go over you
Too good to be real
How you're moving me
I'm lost in a whirlwind
So this is how it feels
Spinning like a wheel
So in love with you

Falling like the sand
Deeper than I ever have before
When you take my hand
You take me to forever
A sweet touch, a heart rush
Now I can't catch my breath
Falling like the sand
Through the hands of time

And who knows why
Sometimes a love is not enough
to hold its own
But I know I
Can see enough of love in us to know
That this is good and this is strong
So hold to me and I'll belong to you

It must have been the summer solstice
When I first gave my heart to You
The first day of a brand new season
In a fevered passion for Your simple truth
It was the longest I'd ever felt for anything
And it gave my soul a song to sing

It must have been my adolescence
That pulled me from my childlike faith
But what I thought to be maturity
Was just neglect that I tried to vindicate
And I went drifting on the wind like the autumn leaves
But when I fell I landed on my knees

CHORUS
So can You throw Your arms around me and walk me home
I've wandered off way too far for way too long
And standing broken in this wilderness of shame
I have found my only strength is in Your name
Oh Father, please can you undo what I've done
And get me back to square one

I never saw that blizzard coming
Just woke up and ice was on the ground
And there were times this beating heart of pride
Was so stubborn it refused to make a sound
But now I'm feeling so out of my element
Frozen in the winter of my discontent

(chorus)

And with the spring comes the thaw
Melting my heart reviving all
It comes full circle and then
It's summer solstice again

(chorus)

There's no remedy for love
Nothing can change the way I feel
I'm hopelessly head over heels
For worse or for better
There's no remedy for love
But I'd have it no other way
The symptoms are clear, I'm yours
For now and forever
There's no remedy for love

Caught up in the concept of your kisses
Of the Mr. and the Mrs.
Of the steps our love is taking here

I'm lost in the magic and the mystery
In our own small part of history
Our hearts have started making here

And I know there'll be no cure for me
But what sweet malady

There's no remedy for love
Nothing can change the way I feel
I'm hopelessly head over heels
For worse or for better
There's no remedy for love
But I'd have it no other way
The symptoms are clear, I'm yours
For now and forever
There's no remedy for love
There's no remedy for love

This how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive and
No guarantees
So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground
But You move me
You give me courage I didn't know I had,
You move me
I can't go with You and stay where I am so,
You move me

Here is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowing what they mean
And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for Your touch

Oh, but You move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Burning with love and with hope and desire,
How You move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it, making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Oh, 'cause You move me
You get me dancing and You make me sing,
You move me

Now I'm taking delight in every little thing
How You move me
Oh, You move me
