What If

What if you're right? And he was just another nice guy What if you're right? What if it's true? They say the cross will Only make a fool of you And what if it's true? What if he takes his palace in history With all the prophets and the kings Who taught us love and came in peace But then the story ends What then? But what if you're wrong? What if there's more? What if there's hope you Never dreamed of hoping for? What if you jump? And just close your eyes? What if the arms that catch you, Catch you by surprise? What if He's more than enough? What if it's love? What if you dig, What if you dig Way down deeper Than your simple-minded friends What if you dig? What if you find A thousand more unanswered questions Inside That's all you find What if you pick apart the logic And begin to poke the holes What if the crown of thorns is no more Then folklore that must be told and retold But what if you're wrong? What if there's more? What if there's hope you Never dreamed of hoping for? What if you jump? And just close your eyes? What if the arms that catch you, Catch you by surprise? What if He's more than enough? What if it's love? You've been running as fast as you can You've been looking for a place you can land so long But what if you're wrong? What if you jump? And just close your eyes? What if the arms that catch you, Catch you by surprise? What if He's more than enough? What if it's love? --- What If - Nichole Nordeman
