Lyrics

What if you’re right,

and He was just an oth er nice guy?

What if you’re right?

What if it’s true?

They say the cross will on ly make a fool of you,

and what if it’s true?

What if He takes His place in his to ry with (Eb)all the proph ets and the kings who taught us love and came in peace, but (Cm)then the sto ry ends?

What then?

But what if you’re (Eb)wrong?

What if there’s more?

What if there’s hope you nev er dreamed of hop ing for?

What if you jump

and just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you catch you by

sur prise?

What if He’s more than e nough?

What if it’s love?

What if you (Cm)dig

way down deep er than your sim ple mind ed friends?

What if you dig?

What if you (Cm)find

a thou sand more un an swered ques tions down in side,

that’s all you find?

What if you pick a part the log ic and be gin to poke the holes?

What if the crown of thorns is no more than folk lore that must be told

and re told?

But what if you’re

What if it’s love?

’Cause you’ve been run ning as fast as you can,

and you’ve been look (Abm)ing for a place you can land

for so long.

But what if you’re

wrong?

What if you jump

and just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you catch you by sur prise?

What if He’s more than e nough?

What if it’s love?

What if it’s (Fm7)love?
