For Loves' Sweet Sake

We go through each and every day With family, friends and foes but, For loves' sweet sake We all endure The chaos, tears and woes And so you think For loves' sweet sake To wrestle with the dark? Well - you will find that you've become The bait - and food for sharks The things you'll do For loves' sweet sake Can tear your heart apart And cause distress where none should be Who now will mend your heart? Now this you say to your lost love "How could you hurt me so"? For loves' sweet sake I gave up all But would not let you go For loves' sweet sake You'll change your life And try to start anew With hope, with love with charity You'll face what comes to you So now, my friend, consider this And all you've sacrificed For loves' sweet sake You gave your all Hey - was it worth the price? Let's ask the One who gave up all To enter into Strife For loves' sweet sake He endured the Cross He gave up His own life He helped us know how much we're loved He showed us how to be He did all of this for us - And more For Loves' sweet sake you see
