Have you listed all the times you've tried?
Do you call on all your alibis?
When somebody asks the question, why are you hiding?

Did you feel the pull, did you hear a call?
Did you take a chance and lose it all?
Do you fear there's no collateral left for trying?

Friend I know your heart is raw
But love is still a worthy cause
Picking up and pressing on
Oh, love is still a worthy cause

Like the touch that it starts the thaw
Oh, love is such a worthy cause
Or the word that breaks the pause
Love

In the midst of passing bravery
In the face of our own injuries
It's the constant generosity of grace

It's the beauty in the tales we tell
It's the pressing on and ending well
In the joy that comes when we give ourselves away

Friend I know your heart is raw
But love is such a worthy cause
Picking up and pressing on
Oh, love is still a worthy cause

Like the touch that it starts the thaw

Or the word that breaks the long hard pause

And I love because he loved me
When I had nothing
And I love because he loved me
When I had nothing

And I love because he loved me
When I had nothing, I had nothing
I love because he loved me
When I had nothing

When you count the cost and all seems lost
Love is still a worthy cause
When you're pressing on, though your strength is gone
Love is still a worthy cause

When you count the cost and all seems lost
Love is still a worthy cause
When you're pressing on, though your strength is gone
Love is still a worthy cause

Oh, the love is still a worthy cause
Oh, the love is still a worthy cause
Oh, the love

It's the beauty in the tales we tell
It's the pressing on and ending well
In the joy that comes when we give ourselves away
