"There are things you can pray in your prayers 
That you can't sing in your songs 
It's like the dreams that lovers share 
When they're safely resting in the promise of a love 
that lasts 
Though it leads them on to walk a steeper path 
And so sometimes you pray and sometimes you sing 
And when you love you thank the Lord for everything 

There's a rest you can find in your work 
That you can't get out of sleep 
And there's a healing that may hurt 
And there's a war that must be waged for peace 
It don't come ready made 
And if you wanna be free you must become a slave 
And so sometimes you work and sometimes you rest 
But when you love you know it all works out for the 
best 

Oh when you love (When you love) 
Oh when you love (When you love) 
Oh when you love (When you love) 
Oh when you love (When you love) 
Oh when you love 

There are things you can sing in your songs 
When you've learned them in your prayers 
And there's a rest that makes you strong 
For the work that you've been called to share 
In with the sons of Light 
And if the Lord should tarry long enough you just might 
See that the times were good 
Although the times were hard 
And when you love you know you've got to thank the Lord 

When you love (you gotta thank the Lord) 
You gotta love the Lord 
When you love 
You gotta love the Lord 
You gotta love the Lord 
You gotta love the Lord"
