Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Showing me things I didn't see; Just because, you loved me, how could this be...
This is why, I write a song that sings your praise
I'm 'gonna lift my hands and say, Thank you, Love for the joy, you gave to me; Ohh
This is love (love, love, love)
Kinda love that's more than enough
I never knew, I never had.
This love, every where that I may go
Your love will keep me from the cold
Side by side, loving you, you loving me (Yeah)
Love, I'm not afraid of what may be
Greater is HE that lives in me
They may say, that I'm a fool, a fool for you (ooh)
This is love (love, love, love)
Kinda love that's more than enough
This is love (love, love, love)
I never knew, I never had, I never had before.
There no one else but you
I have searched my whole life through (yes, I did)
When I arise there you are, you're never far from me (ooh, ooh, yeah.)
This is love (love, love, love)
Kinda love that's more than enough
This is love (love, love, love)
I never knew, I never had before.
This is love (love, love, love)
Kinda love that's more than enough
This is love (love, love, love)
I never knew, I never never never had before.
