lyrics

Their hand was promising,
But the cards fell through the cracks,
Soft and slow, red and black.
Nothing left for him but to fold and restart,
But then he’s trumped with the Queen of Broken Hearts.

If perfect love casts out fear,
Then what is going on here?
What is going on here?
The price of his freedom the same life he wants to save.
Is this love?
Or chains?

Locked in shackles of guilt and fear,
All judgement lost of what is sincere.
But to test what she claims is at stake,
Is a risk she prays too great
For him to dare take.

If perfect love casts out fear,
Then what is going on here?
What is going on here?
The price of his freedom the same life he wants to save.
Is this love?
Or chains?

The threats on her own life,
But its his she’s really taking.
Asking him to hold together everything that’s breaking,
But he can’t.
Only one can.

Your perfect love casts out fear.
Father, bring healing here.
Father, bring healing here.
The price of her freedom the very life that you gave.
There is love
That breaks the chains.
