Rich mullins when you love lyrics

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
