Kim Burrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is what we need
Oooo Oooo Loveeee
Love is what we seek to fulfill our deepest needs
It is a feeling above all feelings
Love is patient love is kind
Ooooo love is what You do
Love beareth all things
(oooo love)
Love hopeth all things
(oooo love)
Oh love is what you do
(oooo love)
Love rejoices in the right and hates the wrong
When you love somebody it really makes life seem so long
It takes sacrifice to show the world, the love that Jesus Christ showed to every woman, man, boy and girl
Love is what we seek
Love is what we need
Love is here for me sho' nough'
(Repeat)
This is his way, this is his heart, this is his view
Thank God I know that love is what You do
Oh love somebody
Love goes on forever
You can have faith and you can have hope but Love is the greatest of all these things
Show some love and take your heart and love somebody
Use your mind and love somebody
Somebody is crying somebody's is even dying
You ought to take the time and show somebody some love
Open your heart and love somebody
Even if it's a smile
Love somebody
Put your arms around someone to love them
Somebody is waiting on you to show some love
Love is what you do!
Oooo yeaaaa love somebody!
