Wayne Watson If Not For Love
In time they say old wounds will heal
But time alone would just reveal
The measure of my best intent
How vainly it would all be spent
Empty boxes
If not for love
My prayer never would be heard
Appeal denied without a word
The throne room of my Father's house
Closed fast to keep me out
No admission
If not for love
If not for love the godless would reign
If not for love any light would be shadowed
But love was strong - revealed a plan
Man's perfect God, God's perfect man
A cross would stand alone refused
A Son blessed and not accused
A Savior never sent
Blind to the world's lament
No forgiveness
If not for love
