Is that our kind of love?

Is there a way we must awake?

A deep commitment we must make?

The steps we know that we must take

To dive in deep to true loves lake

The kind of love we won’t let break

The kind no circumstance can take

When God decides to up the stakes

The love that makes us lie awake

When the other suffers all their ache

When one of us makes a mistake

Over the coals we will be raked

Asks what is real and what is fake?

The love that gives more than it takes

The love that cries and laughs and shakes

that leaves all else lost in its wake

we live our lives for another’s sake

Is that our kind of love?
