Love Is a Higher Power

Mary's been takin care of Larry for goin on 7 years now Keepin a promise she made so long ago To him and their wedding vows She feeds him supper, buttons up his shirt Though he doesn't know her name no more Ask her where she gets her strength She'll tell you from kneeling on the bedroom floor She says love is a higher power That gets you through the storm Brings light into the darkness And turns the cold to warm Love is constant as the waves that Roll in from the sea Yea, love is a higher power Higher than you and me Yea, love is a higher power Higher than you and me Tommy had a stubborn reckless wild streak At 17 he stole a car Then got busted breakin in to a liquor store Spent a couple a years behind bars Thought his daddy would never want to see him again When he knocked on the back screen door His daddy never said a word never wiped his tears Just hugged him like never before See love is a higher power That gets you through the storm Brings light into the darkness And turns the cold to warm Love is constant as the waves that Roll in from the sea Yea, love is a higher power Higher than you and me It calls a soldier to the battle field Put his life in the line of fire It can change a heart that's locked behind grey walls and razor wire It drives a wife to sacrifice no matter what the cost It even caused a man to allow himself to be nailed to the cross Yea, love is a higher power It gets you through a storm Brings light into the darkness Turns the cold to warm Love will catch you when your fallin Lift you up on Angel wings Yea, love is a higher power Higher than anything Yea, love is a higher power Higher than anything
