Life was bitter to the core There was nothing to live for until love came And even second times around happiness could not be found until love came I was left all alone - My heart was breaking Thought was my own - Soul was aching Tears covered me - Weeping through the whole night And I need some relief - Joy comes in the morning I've been searching for - Many years now The keys to life's door - I need to know how Brought to my knees - Savior can you help me And was led to believe - A failure I was to be Well his love showed me, love said not so Even with the odds against me Love showed me, love said not so Without a reason or cause peace and joy makes no pause Until love came Having no hope at all and not another one to call Until love came I was left all alone - My heart was breaking Thought was my own - Soul was aching Tears covered me - Weeping through the whole night And I need some relief - Joy comes in the morning I've been searching for - Many years now The keys to life's door - I need to know how Brought to my knees - Savior can you help me And was led to believe - A failure I was to be Well his love showed me, love said not so Even with the odds against me Love showed me, love said not so Keep on holding on Love showed me, love said no Love told me don't let go Love showed me, love said not so Love Love said not so That's what he told me He told me not so Hey, I want to tell everybody You are my love and my prize possession Because of you I've got pride and joy Can you help me brother You are my love and my prize possession (Love showed me) Because of you I've got pride and joy (Love said not so) Oh can you say it again (Lord) You are my love and my prize possession (Love showed me) Because of you I've got pride and joy (Love said not so) [repeat till end] Tell the world it's love everlasting, hope Everlasting, joy everlasting I've got joy You see I've got love everlasting, hope Everlasting, joy everlasting I've got joy
