Circumstantial Love

Here's the story of 
A lonely man
And he's searching, searching

Circumstantial love
is all he's waiting for
Did he pray no
Did he stay oh, with the Lord,  NO

The promises of God
Are yea and nay. . .
Always, substantial always
He's just moments away
While this man here is drowning  sadness and sorrow

Circumstantial love
is all he's waiting for
Did he pray no
Did he stay oh, with the Lord,  NO

This one is looking for true love
His first one went on back to the Lord

Circumstantial love
is all he's waiting for
Did he pray no
Did he stay oh, with the Lord,  NO

It's not fit for man
To be physically alone
For if man can't contain
He's allowed to remarry again

Circumstantial love
is all he's waiting for
Did he pray no
Did he stay oh, with the Lord,  NO

Circumstantial love
I prayed yes
I am blessed well
Circumstantial love
Did I stay in God yes
I am found, I can see
That the miracles belong to me
I can see she's for me;
And I'll wait till the Lord God shows me her face;
Circumstantial love
is all he's waiting for
Circumstantial love
