Sweet love turned to sorrow, Lord help me through
I signed a love paper, thought forever we'd stand
Promised to grow old together by the sea, hand in hand
But papers turned to warfare, promises became lies
All my years of labor now torn before my eyes
You said you'd take a bullet, but you took everything instead
My children, cars, and businesses—left me barely fed
Love became a terrorist, stealing all I hold dear
Wish I'd listened to my mother, wish my friends were near
Standing on a cliff's edge with the wind about to blow
Love is just a hollow word, a painful undertow
Hallelujah, Jesus help me through this pain
Praise Him, I will find my way again
Nights of watching starlight turned to endless rain
Walking barefoot, broken, drowning in this pain
They promised Roman battles fought with all their might
Instead they took my future, left me in the night
Blindness filled with passion, couldn't see the truth
Now I'm paying for the foolishness of youth
Love became a terrorist, stealing all I hold dear
Wish I'd listened to my mother, wish my friends were near
Standing on a cliff's edge with the wind about to blow
Love is just a hollow word, a painful undertow
Hallelujah, Jesus help me through this pain
Praise Him, I will find my way again
Yes Lord, teach me wisdom, thank You Jesus for this test
