Some of us sinners some of us saints Some of us between a rock and hard place Some of us welcome some of us not Some of us the scapegoat some of us the mob All of us guilty then all of us free A cup of joy poured out to our great relief So when the abyss had us tied to the rails Like a runaway train love never fails Some say it's crazy some take offense Some swear the law still demands recompense Some shot the sheriff and the deputy too Some heard the cock crow in the light of the moon All are atoned for the wicked made whole The world's scarlet letter washed white as snow When the albatross curse all the wind from our sails We have no damns to give love never fails A weapon will prosper A levy will break The heartbreaker gives you More than you can take The trouble in trusting A savior not seen You find out he don't fail When he don't intervene Find out he don't fail When he don't intervene Some of us doubtful some of us weak Some are uncertain and still we believe Some overcoming some testify There's a righteousness in us that we can't deny Some hallelujah some blessed be Some sing out in chains some sing out free Our dreams up in smoke beneath plunging nail Punchline of the joke love never fails
