Agony Stuff
-- Highway, Northamptonshire, 1999


Love is not that tender stuff

In cuddles and embrace
Love is but that tough stuff
That brings tears on your face.

Love is not that kissing stuff
When all seems well
Love is that rough stuff
That makes you feel like hell.

Love is not that melting stuff
Like in a frying pan
Love is that hot stuff
Burning if it can.

Love is not that rosy stuff
Nor is it sweet
Love is painful stuff
That knocks you off your feet.

But love is agony stuff
Jesus proves that way
He died that we might live
Through His love today!
