What Good are love songs 

If they don't make us lovers? 

Why be an eagle 

That won't spread its wings 

Why write our hearts out 

We're not moved by the passion? 

If love songs don't change us 

Then why do we sing? 


Once there were prophets 

But we would not hear them 

Once there were wonders 

we would not believe 

Fire and manna 

Rained down from heaven 

Great mighty winds 

Once parted the seas. 


What Good are love songs 

If they don't make us lovers? 

Why be an eagle 

That won't spread its wings? 

Why write our hearts out 

We're not moved by the passion? 

If love songs don't change us 

Then why do we sing? 


When we were blindest, God sent His vision 

When we were deaf, He spoke and we heard 

The Light of the World walked through our darkness

Jehovah, Himself, the incarnate Word. 


What Good are love songs 

If they don't make us lovers? 

Why be an eagle 

That won't spread its wings? 

Why write our hearts out 

We're not moved by the passion? 

If love songs don't change us 

Then why do we sing?
