It Takes Love lyrics

Still waters run deep

Muddy waters won't keep

Love, love, it takes love

More than love is God above

Heaven knows it's not enough

'Cause this thing can be so rough

Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you

'Cause still waters will run deep if, in you, my faith I keep

This thing called love

I used to occasionally try my hand relationally

Obsessive with the outside appearance and what I saw facially

What I had to have, have just didn't add up

Amount to much of what was revealed

Seeing past they looks and such

The baggage piled up, revealing shine through

Feathers riled up

Emotions rev like a engine, engine, then they drive up

Soon she jet

I shoot for the exit myself

A quick outro and I'm lost for words, like Gwyneth Paltrow,

(Who'll be my soul mate?)

Muster up change for the toll gate

The life I was chasing when real

I used to roll fate with this outtake

The right thing, I always did last

And, like an outbreak, everything caught up with me too fast

They can't stop me

Come out pure as gold and do my fold

Dismiss the latter, then I embrace the promise told

I receive it and, with Christ like faith, I believe it

Predestined, manifested

I water the seed and test it

Love, love, it takes love, (still waters run deep)

More than love is God above

Heaven knows it's not enough, (muddy waters won't keep)

'Cause this thing can be so rough

Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you, (making sure my thing is right)

'Cause still waters will run deep if, in you, my faith I keep,

(We'll start a secret comes to life)

This thing called love

As the sun rises daily, I'm awakened

How do I begin, dealing with the past guilty of sin?

Though I know I'm not enslaved by his power

Deep inside, my soul is free, but my mind reflects time and time again

Frustration got me burning from degrees of separation,

'Cause my deeds put a distance in between the close relation with my children

In physical sense, contact is limited to often as possible

Visits and phone conversations

Face the fact: I know I'm only part of half of the blame

But, in full, I feel the same

And at present it's not the same s when I was there to give them names

And my presence was felt to save the claim that I was daddy

So often I feel sadness of the outcome of the madness with me and mama

Now we all face the drama through faith in God for healing

Yes, this price I must pay

Not a day goes by I don't envision your faces

Please forgive me

Love, love, it takes love, (still waters run deep)

More than love is God above

Heaven knows it's not enough, (muddy waters won't keep)

'Cause this thing can be so rough

Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you, (making sure my thing is right)

'Cause still waters will run deep if, in you, my faith I keep,

(We'll start a secret comes to life)

This thing called love, love, it takes love, (still waters run deep)

More than love is God above

Heaven knows it's not enough, (muddy waters won't keep)

'Cause this thing can be so rough

Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you, (making sure my thing is right)

'Cause still waters will run deep if, in you, my faith I keep,

(We'll start a secret comes to life)

This thing called love
