[ Chorus 1 ]
He was an independent son
Always on the run
No time to listen
To the Father
He stood alone to
face the gale
So afraid to fail
afraid to listen
to a brother
[ Pre-chorus 1 ]
Then suddenly
Like a memory
The candle in his heart
Burst into flame
And patiently
Oh so patiently
The voice of mercy
truth and light
Spoke once again
into the night
How can this be?
What do we see?
[ Chorus 1 ]
Nothing but love
In it's purest form
Nothing but love
would go into the storm
Challenge the pride
Clouding his eyes
Nothing but love
Could lead him in
Nothing but love
would do it again
[ Verse 2: ]
Is there an independant child
with a heart gone wild
Be still
and listen
To the Father
So underneath the
weight you bear
So afraid to share
Open the curtain
To a brother
[ Pre-chorus 2 ]
And suddenly
More than memory
The candle in your heart
Can be a flame
And patiently
Oh so patiently
The voice of mercy
truth and light
Will speak again
into the night
How can this be
Oh
do you see?
[ Chorus 2 ]
Nothing but love
In it's purest form
Nothing but love
would go into the storm
Challenge the pride
Clouding your eyes
Nothing but love
Could lead you in
Nothing but love
Could do it again
[ Bridge: ]
When you fall
at his feet
and your heart
has been humbled
and broken
Then the God of
compassion will
reach down his
hand
And He will lift you up
He will lift you up
[ Chorus 3 ]
Nothing but love
In it's purest form
Nothing but love
would go into the storm
Challenge the pride
Clouding our eyes
Nothing but love
Could lead us in
Nothing but love
Nothing but love
Nothing but
love...
