Valentine
Konola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God is so good He's a keeper
I know you've been hurt by a cheater
But you see my God the redeemer
Valentine, oh Valentina
You see my Lord He won't leave ya
All you gotta do is follow the leader
Don't, love the world God is sweeter
Hallelujah, I wish I loved Jesus sooner
If it's not God's love then it's counterfeit
I was in the world then I got out of it
You wanna know real love turn to Jesus
Chapter five verse two of Ephesians
I was in the world chasing money and girls
Tried to fill the void in my heart, I was eager
But let me teach ya
That can only get filled with the Lord my God He's a keeper
The world will say they love you then they leave ya
Loyal partners turn to a cheater
Left you in that dumping ground Tracey Beaker
But you see Jesus, He's My redeemer
It's easy to love the loveable, they kiss and cuddle you
And do all that you wanna do
But you see Jesus, He died for the ones that trouble you
For the ones that haven't got no love at all
Sin was great but my God's greater
He made a way He's the way maker
Grace and mercy for a hater
If it ain't Gods love then see you later
Hallelujah, I wish I loved Jesus sooner
Hallelujah, I wish I loved Jesus sooner
If it's not Gods love then it's counterfeit
I was in the world then I got out of it
You wanna know real love turn to Jesus
Chapter five verse two of Ephesians
Valentine, oh Valentina
God is so good He's a keeper
I know you've been hurt by a cheater
But you see my God the redeemer
Valentine, oh Valentina
You see my Lord He won't leave ya
All you gotta do is follow the leader
Don't, love the world God is sweeter
Hallelujah, I wish I loved Jesus sooner
Hallelujah, I wish I loved Jesus sooner
If it's not God's love then it's counterfeit
I was in the world then I got out of it
You wanna know real love turn to Jesus
Chapter five verse two of Ephesians
