It was nothing you did
That brought love to life,
When I suddenly saw something
In your eyes.

Nothing you said
Made me touch your hand,
But it's something
Two hearts understand.

It's the grace of love
From the deep I don't see.
The grace of love
From high beyond me.

It's something I can't hold,
Can't earn or control.
Descending from heaven,
The grace of love.

You don't need to understand me.
I have a language of my own.
I have needs and reasons
You'll never know.

Don't read the expressions
In my face for too long.
Just listen to the love
In my song.

It's the grace of love
From the deep I don't see.
The grace of love
From high beyond me.

It's something I can't hold,
Can't earn or control.
Descending from heaven,
The grace of love.
