Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why that we feel the way we do
What a joy to share with you
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
If anymore I need to say
The list goes on and on all day
I'll cherish that moment for life
And I know it might sound crazy
Time to admit
Time we should admit it
I'm so addicted, yeah
You see, He's taken my heart
And showed me the right way
No doubt about it
Doubt it, no doubt
See, I'm lost without it, yeah
You see this love takes me higher
I didn't know why then
I found it was addictive love, yeah
Now that we've evened up the score
Hey, what do you mean there's so much more
I need to tell why we adore
The reason why I smile when I, when I wake up
And also the reason why I dream
Reason why I dream
My love, my joy, my everything
And I'll cherish that moment for life
And I know it might sound crazy
It's alright, take a seat, hold tight
Time to admit
Time we should admit it
I'm so addicted, yeah
You see, He's taken my heart
Taken my heart, y'all
And showed me the right way
There's no doubt about it, no
Doubt it, no doubt
I'm lost without it, yeah
You see this love takes me higher
I didn't know why then
You see I found it was addictive love
So much love
He's given to me everything I longed for
Everything I need
That means I'm never alone, so glad
And everything I've dreamed and much more
So much more
And I'll cherish that moment for life
For the rest of my life, yeah, yeah
And I know it might sound crazy but, no
I'm not crazy
I've never known anyone to love me quite the way you do
And I tell you
It's hopeless, I've finally noticed that
I'm just forever addicted, forever
Forever in love,
Time to admit
Time we should admit it
Hold tight
You see, He's taken my heart
And showed me the right way
Showed me the way
There's no doubt about it
Show me the right way
See, I'm lost without it, yeah
You see this love takes me higher
Higher
I didn't know why then
I didn't know why, I didn't know I was addicted
Time to admit
Time we should admit it
Hey, yes, I am
You see, He's taken my heart
My heart
And showed me the right way
Showed me the way
There's no doubt about it
Doubt it, no doubt

Heal the Soul
I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk. I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise God!!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!! 🙌🙌🙏🙏💖💖🎄🎄💖💖
moehammondmedia
Are you telling the truth? Because Jesus don’t really talk out loud to people like never. and people with paralysis don’t usually get up and take a walk outside like never. 🤷🏾♂️
Christy Johnson
@moehammondmedia God talked out loud to me once before. It was was about 5 years ago. I heard him in a room with other people. I can't exactly call it a whisper but it was in my right ear. I can't remember the exact words. I think I was so shocked is the reason why I can't remember His exact words. He was speaking words of encouragement and comfort.
James Ferrell
All praise to The Most High 🙏🏼
Kenyatta Johnson
Amen!!

@moehammondmedia Get the behind me satan
Sabrina Ross
I literally get chills from this song. If I'm driving i have to pull over so I can get the full effect. I'll NEVER be afraid to admit it. My love for God is everlasting, so much that my eyes cry the the tears of my heart. I love you God.
Joe the king Hawk
Amen...
