Wounds Of Love

Rich Mullins


"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"
