Have you listed all the times you've tried Do you call on all your alibis When somebody asks the question why are you hiding Did you feel the pull, did you hear the call Did you take a chance and lose it all Do you fear there's no collateral left for trying Friend i know your heart is raw But love is still a worthy cause Picking up and pressing on Oh love is still a worthy cause Like the touch that starts the thaw Oh, love is such a worthy cause Or the word that breaks the pause In the midst of passing bravery In the face of our own injuries Is the constant generosity of grace It's the beauty in the tales we tell It's the pressing on and ending well It's the joy that comes when we give our self away Chorus I love because he loved me when i had nothing I love because you loved me when i had nothing I love because he loved me when i had nothing I had nothing When you count the cost and all seems lost Love is still a worthy cause When you're pressing on though your strength is gone Love is still a worthy cause Oh, love is still a worthy cause Oh, love is still a worthy cause Oh, love
