It's Your Love
Marvin L. Sims Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She thought all she needed could be found in man
Building all her hopes and dreams on temporary things
She's laughing on the outside but she's crying on the inside
She's hangin' in there on a wing and a prayer and I can hear her say

I think I'm getting wiser now 'cause things are getting clearer now
We're only one prayer away, don't waste another day
Lord, we need Your love, if we're ever gonna make it
No longer can we fake it, we need it right now, right now
Lord, we need Your love every mornin', every evenin'
In and out of every season, right now, right now

Oh, he thought he didn't need nobody, he said he couldn't trust nobody
He tried to be a strong man but he was hurtin' from a broken heart
All the money in the world could never buy him peace of mind
He's running on empty and he feels like he's runnin' out of time

Don't take love for granted, you gotta embrace it right away
What you have some don't find, ever in the bottom line
So think it over you gotta square your shoulders and before it's all done
You'll look around and I'm bound to hear you say

I think I'm getting wiser now 'cause things are getting clearer now
We're only one prayer away, don't waste another day

Lord, we need Your love, if we're ever gonna make it
No longer can we fake it, we need it right now, right now
Lord, we need Your love every mornin', every evenin'
In and out of every season, right now, right now

Lord, we need Your love, if we're ever gonna make it
No longer can we fake it, we need it right now, right now
Lord, we need Your love every mornin', every evenin'
In and out of every season, right now, right now

Think I'm getting wiser now 'cause things are getting clearer now
We're only one prayer away, don't waste another day
Think I'm getting wiser now 'cause things are getting clearer now
We're only one prayer away, don't waste another day

Think I'm getting wiser now 'cause things are getting clearer now
We're only one prayer away, don't waste another day
Think I'm getting wiser now 'cause things are getting clearer now
We're only one prayer away, don't waste another day

Lord, we need Your love, if we're ever gonna make it
No longer can we fake it, we need it right now, right now
Need every little love in this heart of mine
In this soul of mine, hey, in this world of mine





Lord, we need Your love, if we're ever gonna make it
No longer can we fake it
