lyrics

VERSE 1
What is a vow these days?
It's nothing but words to be given and taken right back
We're wed at an altar, but there's no sacrifice
Just players performing an act

PRE-CHORUS 1
So we leave and cleave and leave again and tear the flesh in two
As if covenants with God and man are things we can undo

CHORUS
What if Christ suddenly said,
"I've had enough; this is the end;
I take back my love
For being unfair, for running around
Betraying my trust, and letting me down"
But Christ didn't lay a cross on His back
To show us a love with strings attached
If love's understood by looking to Christ
Then love is a sacrifice

VERSE 2
Wives have you given up submitting yourselves
Like the church submits to Christ?
Men have you no desire to lay down your lives
Just as Christ did for His bride?

PRE-CHORUS 2
We're so comfortable with "comfort first" we barely bat an eye
When the selfishness within the church looks just like that outside

BRIDGE
Marriage is meant to display the love we've been shown
By Christ who would die to make us His own
Denying Himself, He put his love first
To make us holy, blameless, and pure
If Christ would die for His unfaithful bride
And no matter what, He'd stay by her side
If true love is marked by laying down your life for someone else
Then how can we leave our love just to please ourselves?
