Love so dear, born to lay its own life down, came by here and called my name,
And I answered empty-handed; I had no offering,
You took me as I am, you take me still,
And for the price my soul demanded you gave up everything.

The world keeps turning,
Bridges keep burning,
I am learning the lesson of love.

Love like this is a mystery to me,
Judas' kiss is what I know,
But with the passion of a father you pursue me to the end,
Faithful like no other all my days,
Your wings provide me cover as your light invades my sin.

The world keeps turning,
Bridges keep burning,
I am learning the lesson of love.

Though every promise I've made has been broken, Jesus remains reconciled,
Keeping every word he's spoken and marking every mile.

The world keeps turning,
Bridges keep burning,
I am learning the lesson of love.

The lesson of love,
Ooh,
Ah, lesson of love,
Ooh,
The lesson of love,
Ooh,
