What Love Looks Like

Carolyn Arends


Something's happening down by the shore 
There is a blind man who is not blind anymore 
Everybody's talking - how can this be? 
A little mud, a gentle touch, and now he can see 
He squints up at the light 
And he wipes the tears away 
And he whispers when he sees his healer's face 

CHORUS: 
Oh - this is what love looks like 
Oh - this is what love looks like 
I never dreamed I would see such a sight 
This is what love looks like. 

There is no sorrow in all the world 
Deep as a father's who has lost his little girl 
He begs the healer - come to her side 
A whispered word, the daughter stirs 
And now she's alive 
And over by the door 
Her father stands amazed 
And when he tells the story he will say 

CHORUS 

Well I have seen it too, in the ways a soul can see 
When I doubt like Thomas all these things are shown to me 
The nail prints in his hand, the wound deep in his side 
The body has been broken but his arms are open wide 

CHORUS
