Love Alone

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 rope down low
 Swing Your rope 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 rope down low
 Swing Your rope down low
