If I Know Love

I was a foolish young man
With a hole in my heart
She wanted to be that missing part
We both got confused
And I misused her love
Now I hate to think of her
Hating to think of me
Hating the hurt and the thought
Of what used to be
Feeling betrayed
And so afraid to love

Now I can't find a reason
To hope for tomorrow
She can't find the love
To cover the sorrow

But if I know love
He takes heartache in His hand
Like He's mending a broken wing
And if I know love
He'd say don't ever forget
That you're not yet what you will be
Wait and see

There was a time when the world
Was a lovelier place
The Maker of heaven
Threw the stars into space
And the hearts He made
Were not afraid to love
Oh, but something got broken
In the balance of time
So the Maker of heaven
Put His heart on the line
And let it break
For the sake of love

Now there's plenty of reason
To hope for tomorrow
And plenty of love
To cover the sorrow

'Cause if I know love
He takes heartache in His hand
Like He's mending a broken wing
And if I know love
He'd say don't ever forget
That you're not yet what you will be
Hey, yeah

If I know love
He takes heartache in His hand
Like He's mending a broken wing
And if I know love
He'd say don't ever forget
That you're not yet what you will be
Wait and see

There was a time when the world
Was a lovelier place
The Maker of heaven
Threw the stars into space
And the hearts He made
Were not afraid to love
I am not afraid to love
