And just like that the whole thing ended
Like Cinderella’s ball
The clock struck twelve and all went back the way it was
She knelt there in the solitude
Of her grief in all its magnitude
and begged God, “Why would you take the man I love?”
The plane was bound for Amsterdam
as I said my last goodbye’s
and left behind everyone I’d ever met
the price was set for loving and
with a ticket in my sweaty hand
I stepped into the sky waiting above
Hold on. If this doesn’t hurt, it isn’t love
Chorus:
How can You watch this world in sin and agony
without stepping in to patch everything up?
Cuz I know I’m not the only one who’s been wounded to the core
With the sacrifice and awesome price of love
Oh Lord, does it have to hurt this much?
Well sometimes a bleeding heart just can’t take it anymore
and the innocent always get in the way
at night I dream of Africa from a bed in North America
and wonder, “How long can we go on this way?”
Chorus:
How can You watch this world in sin and agony
without stepping in to patch everything up?
Cuz I know I’m not the only one who’s been wounded to the core
With the sacrifice and awesome price of love
Oh Lord, does it have to hurt this much?
The sky grew black and earth was silent as He gave up His last breath
and creation moaned as the grave gave up its dead
And all the sins of every man were hammered to this spotless lamb
His Father couldn’t watch Him as He bled
Chorus:
You can’t watch this world in sin and agony
without stepping in to patch everything up
Cuz I know that more than anyone You’ve been wounded to the core
With the sacrifice and awesome price of love
Oh Lord does it have to hurt this much?
Oh Lord does it have to hurt this much?
Oh Lord no on ever gave so much
