HIS LOVE IS TOUGH AS NAILS

VERSE 1
Along life’s highway, people lie and never say
What they choose to conceal
Doubt and hate get in the way without the faith to watch and pray
They refuse to be saved and healed

SHORT CHORUS
I don’t believe in holy grails or Don Quixote’s fairy tales
I believe in His love only… He won’t leave you lonely
His love, it never fails; His love is tough as nails, it’s tough as nails

VERSE 2
Have you seen those magazines? The ones with all the beauty queens?
I wonder what’s fake and what’s real?
Awake or in our dreams, it ain’t the way it seems
One day the truth will be revealed

PRE-CHORUS
When I see you on the street, I can still feel the heat
I’m not a man of steel; my heart still skips a beat
One day our souls will meet on golden streets
My heart will heal and mend and I’ll be free
Free to love again, but ‘til then…

LONG CHORUS
I don’t believe in holy grails; Don Quixote’s fairy tales
I believe in His love only… He won’t leave you lonely
His love, it never fails; His love is tough as nails
Amidst tempests, storms and gales, this quest for love prevails
So turn from sin and learn of Him, He’s the wind in your sails
Don’t trade your soul for a pot of gold ‘cuz the scroll will be unveiled
He’s made for us a home / our sin has been atoned
So bow before His throne / you’re now one of His own
‘Cuz His love, it never fails; His love is tough as nails

OUTRO
I don’t believe in holy grails, snips and snails and puppy dog tails
So mind the ship and set the sails, fix the drips, mend the rails
Before the ship tips the scales and we end up with Happy Trails
Remember this… God’s love it never fails; it’s tough as nails
