Your Love Is Strong
Jon Foreman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let Your kingdom come in my world and in my life
Give me the food I need
To live through today
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wrong me
Lead me far from temptation
I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I walk to the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day
So why should I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need
Your love is, Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is, Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is, Your love is
Your love is strong
The Kingdom of the Heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The Kingdom of the Heavens
Is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?
Two things You told me
That You are strong
And You love me
Yes, You love me
Your love is, Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is, Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is, Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is, Your love is
Your love is strong
Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

LETRA
Seu Amor É Forte
Pai Celestial
Você sempre me surpreende
Deixo seu reino entrar no meu mundo
E na minha vida
Você me dá o alimento que eu preciso
Para passar o dia
E me perdoa como eu perdoo
As pessoas injustas
Livra-me da tentação
Me guie pra longe das pessoas más
Eu olho para fora da janela
Os pássaros estão compondo
Não é uma nota fora do tom
Ou fora do lugar
Eu olho para as pradarias
E olhando para as flores
Mais bem vestidas do que qualquer menina
No dia do casamento
Então, por que me preocupar?
Por que eu enlouqueceria?
Deus sabe o que eu preciso
Você sabe o que eu preciso
Seu amor é
Seu amor é
Seu amor é forte
Seu amor é
Seu amor é
Seu amor é forte
Seu amor é
Seu amor é
Seu amor é forte
O reino dos céus
Está avançando
Invade meu coração
Invada esta cidade destruída
O reino dos céus
É o tesouro enterrado
Você vai vender-se
Para comprar o que você achou?
Duas coisas que você me disse
Que você é forte
E que você me ama
Sim, você me ama
Seu amor é
Seu amor é
Seu amor é forte
Seu amor é
Seu amor é
Seu amor é forte
Seu amor é
Seu amor é
Seu amor é forte
Seu amor é
Seu amor é
Seu amor é forte
Nosso Deus no céu
Santificado seja
Teu nome acima de todos os nomes
Venha teu Reino
Seja feita a Tua vontade
Na terra como no céu
Dá-nos hoje o nosso pão de cada dia
Perdoa-nos os nossos pecados
Livra-nos de nossos vícios
E livrai-nos destas prisões

My wife and I would be bundled up against the cold, kneeling on the cold tile floor of our concrete apartment in China. We would turn on this song and just sit silent with tears streaming down our cheeks. It touched us almost every single day of our last year on the mission field in 2011, this song along with Danyew's Beautiful King.
Bacon Ator
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. I hope you both are doing well
Hailey
Oh wow!!!! Praise God for moments like these! That’s beautiful, I’m sorry that you both were hurting during this time. He loves you so much.
Doug McFall
It's good you have each other my so-called Christian wife who was abusive and deprive me for years divorced me in 2017
Jessi Cox
Geez, powerful. As I sit here... contemplating my next mission... this is standing out to me. Two things you told me: You are strong, and you love me.
J.A.H
That is so beautiful. This song is inspired by God....it is the Lords prayer after all I guess.
Oscar Aguilar
jon foreman is a legend this man should have 20 grammys
D.A - Cohort 151A Jezreel P. Santos
Octaman 16 He don't need the worldy stuff like that.. He only need to spread the love of our Almighty Creator.
Erik Avilez
I agree, tho I believe that more awards would make him better known in the industry and therefore spread ever greater the word of our God :)
The Purple-Bear
How I think is that the Grammys are for regular secular music, and also that it would be counter intuitive to receive rewards and trophies for doing the lords work, because it devalues said work and makes it seem more like to win something rather than to spread his love at least that’s my 2 cents
