Andrew Peterson - The Ballad of Hansberry Brown (Or, Love Enough) lyrics

Spoken: I met a man on the beach out in Panama City Who was haggard and worn like a slave He said his life had been sweet And that he wasn't quitting But he knew that today was his day. He said, "I have wandered far to yonder ocean I have drunk from every fountain in this world I have turned each mossy stone And have found myself alone But I believe there is love enough for the taking" Well, he sat down in the sand and he took his shoes off And he rambled on beneath the misty moon He said, "I've spent more than I've saved And I've kept more than I gave But I believe there is love enough for the taking" "Well, it covers us like rain It washes and it stains Poured out from heaven's cup For you and me to drink it up And in stubborn spite of my stubborn spite I am loved nonetheless I am loved all the more And I believe there is love enough for the taking" I watched him empty out his pockets and take his shirt off And he smiled awhile at something in his mind He said, "The secret of this life is found in blood and sacrifice And so you see There is love enough for the taking" "Well, it covers us like rain It washes and it stains Poured out from heaven's cup For you and me to drink it up And in stubborn spite of my stubborn spite I am loved nonetheless I am loved all the more And I believe there is love enough for the taking" He said it would not be long 'til he was leaving Then I saw this boat appear before my eyes Then the man began to run, crying out, "My time has come Hallelujah There is love enough for the taking" Well, it covers us like rain It washes and it stains Poured out from heaven's cup For you and me to drink it up And in stubborn spite of my stubborn spite I am loved nonetheless I am loved all the more And I believe there is love enough for the taking There is love enough for the taking
