Your Love Is Better Than Life

I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught
I dunno why I was born into the family I've got
I dunno if I ever had an original thought
Maybe not, maybe so, maybe later, I dunno

I dunno how I can end a prayer, then turn on a friend
I dunno what I was thinking when I just pressed 'send'
I dunno why I still criticize the things I dunno
I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, but I know

Your love is better than life
Without Your love, I'm just a broken machine
Your love is better than life
Without Your love, it's just a mindless routine
Your love is better than life
Without Your love, I'm in another free fall
Your love is better than life
Without Your love, I've got nothing at all

I dunno what goes down the moment we die
Do we get halos and harps?
Do we sleep?
Do we fly?
I dunno how, when and why this world will finally end
Speculation's gonna grow
Who knows best?
I dunno

I dunno if I should push ahead or stop and grieve
I lie awake and wonder how to make a city believe
I dunno when it's a ministry and when it's a show
Maybe neither, maybe both, I dunno
But this one thing I know

Your love is better than life
Without Your love, I'm just a broken machine
Your love is better than life
Without Your touch, I'm not a full human being
Your love is better than life
If I should ever leave, where would I go?
Your love is better than life
I look to You, 'cause You're the lover of my soul

Here's to the lover of my soul

I dunno when to walk away or stand and fight
Just when I've got it wrong, I'm sure I heard You right
And when my arguments are water-tight
You expose every hole with a flash and a flood
And I know I hear You call in the eye of the storm
And I know You've had my back since the day I was born
Still stoking my heart, still stirring my head
You'r emy pillar of fire, You're the wine, You're the bread

And Your love is better than life
Without Your love, I'm in another free fall
Your love is better than life
Without Your love, I've got nothing at all

I dunno when I've got it right or wrong
I dunno how I can wrap it in a four-minute song
But I know my grip is better when I'm not hanging on
Your love is making us strong, all along
Your love is better than life.
