Love Shakes

They say you got to sing every day
So that God will remember
What your voice sounds like
They say you got to play every day
So your fingers will remember
What the dents feel like
When you fold your hands to pray

And I got a big pain in me
And I don’t think it’s gonna go away
Love shakes me down to the roots of my teeth
And I wouldn’t have it any other way

If I could do it all again
I wouldn’t change a damn thing

They say you got to hurt a long time
Before you can feel another’s pain
And sometimes I want to throw off my load
And say, “Oh, please take this cup from me.”
And sometimes I just sit and tremble
Knowing the plan I cannot see
Because what I get for the trial
Is this tenderness
inside of me
