If All I Know Is Love
Rich Mullins · Other Songs - Rich Mullins
Where it's so easy to be torn apart
I've learned to hide the feelings deep inside
But what I'm telling You is from my heart
It's Your love that opens up eternity
To a heart nothing else could reach
And if all I know is love and I leave the rest behind
That will be enough to take me to the sky
I am strong, only when I'm holding on
To the greatest truth I've ever known
For when I lose myself in You
You take me farther than I've gone alone
It's Your love that opens up eternity
To a heart nothing else could reach
And if all I know is love and I leave the rest behind
That will be enough to take me to the sky
It is love that led Your Son to Calvary
And it is love that opened up my eyes to see
That it is love that held Him to the cross
And it will be enough if all I have is love
And if all I know is love and I leave the rest behind
That will be enough if all I know is love"
