Love Alone Lyrics - Singles - Caedmons Call

No one would love me 

If they knew all the things I hide 

My words fall to the floor 

As tears drip through the telephone line 

And the hands I've seen raised to the sky 

And not waving but drowning all this time 

I'll try to build the ark that they need 

To float to You upon the crystal sea 

Give me Your hand to hold 

'Cause I can't stand to love alone 

And love alone is not enough to hold us up 

We've got to touch Your robe 

So swing Your rope down low 

Swing Your rope down low 

The prince of despairs been beaten Lord 

But the loser still fights 

Death's on a long leash 

Stealing my friends to the night 

And everyone cries for innocent 

You say to love the guilty too 

And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness 

So I'm working tearing back the roof 

Give me Your hand to hold 

'Cause I can't stand to love alone 

And love alone is not enough to hold us up 

We've got to touch Your robe 

So swing Your robe down low 

Swing Your robe down low 

And the pain of the world is a burden 

And it's my cross to bear 

And I stumble under all the weight 

I know You're Simon standing there 

And I know You're standing there 

Give me Your hand to hold 

'Cause I can't stand to love alone 

And love alone is not enough to hold us up 

We've got to touch Your robe 

So swing Your robe down low 

Swing Your robe down low
