Love Abides

Hey, look how far we've come
Do we know who we are?
Stranded on a mountaintop
Trying to catch a falling star

Here's to what we've left behind us
Here's to what we keep inside
May the road that lies before us
Lead to a place where love abides

I went walking with my baby
Through the early morning frost
Saw three crosses by the roadside
Where three young souls were lost

Guess they're flying with the angels
Jesus took 'em for a ride
High above the Rio Grande
They found a place where love abides

You may cross the burning deserts
You must walk your path alone
But a sudden storm may blind you
Shake your spirit to the bone
Seeking shelter for a weary heart
Somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide
Then somewhere down that troubled road
You find a place where love abides

Our people came across the water
With their fearful, untamed hearts
Standing on a foreign shoreline
Prayin' for a brand new start

Hand in hand across the mountains
And the raging rivers wide
'Til they've reached the distant ocean
Or found a place where love abides

You may cross your burning deserts
You might walk your path alone
But a sudden storm may blind you
Shake your spirit to the bone
Seeking shelter for a weary heart
Somewhere to rest, somewhere to hide
Then somewhere down that troubled road
You find a place where love abides

Hey, look how far we've come
Do we know who we are?
Stranded on a mountaintop
Trying to catch a falling star
