So, you say you can't take it
The price is too high
The feelings have gone
It seems the river's run dry
You never imagined
It could turn out so rough
You give and give and give
And still, it's never enough

Your emotions have vanished
That once held a thrill
You wonder if love
Could be alive in you still
But that ring on your finger
Was put there to stay
You'll never forget
The words you promised that day

Jesus didn't die for you
Because it was fun
He hung there for love
Because it had to be done
And in spite of the anguish
His word was fulfilled
'Cause love is not a feeling
It's an act of your will
Love is not a feeling
It's an act of your will
Now I wouldn't try to tell you
That it's easy to stand
When Satan's throwing everything
That's at his command
But Jesus is faithful
His promise is true
And the things that He asks
He gives the power to do

But you know He didn't die for you
Because it was fun
He hung there for love
Because it had to be done
And in spite of the anguish
His word was fulfilled
'Cause love is not a feeling
It's an act of your will
Love is not a feeling
It's an act of your will
Love is not a feeling
It's an act of your will
