Wounds Of Love

By Rich Mullins

Lyrics

It's a quarter 'til tomorrow

And it's only half past yesterday

The here and the now

Done come and gone

It's gone away


And the moon over Atlanta winks

And nods its head for a long good night

And I don't know where you are

And I don't know how you're sleeping

But I sure do hope that you're alright


And may the angel of His presence keep your heart

And when your prayers give flight to your dreams

May the only scars you see on their wings

Be the wounds of love

Be the wounds of love


The bottle is still so full

There's no one here to turn the tap

So much in me wants to reach out and hold you

But you're so far away I can't do that

And the dark comes through these windows on the wind

Makes those votives glow more brilliantly

Well, if passion can lead to prayer

Maybe prayer can give us faith

And if faith is all we've got

Then maybe faith is all we need


And may the angel of His presence keep your heart

And when your prayers give flight to your dreams

May the only scars you see on their wings

Be the wounds of love

Be the wounds of love


Wounds of love

And the moon over Atlanta winks

And he nods his head for a long good night

And I don't know where you are

And I don't know how you're sleeping

But I sure do hope to God that you're alright


And may the angel of His presence keep your heart

And when your prayers give flight to your dreams

May the only scars you see on their wings

Be the wounds of love

Be the wounds of love


Be the wounds of love

Be the wounds of love
