There Is A Love
Out Of Eden Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

V 1:
I've had a lot of thoughts about this thing called love
And I've wondered how our feelings came to stay
So many use a love for another thing called lust
Confusing hearts so they can have their way
Sorry I can't play that game, my head is on too straight
I respect my life, so never underestimate
I know God has the on who will love me enough to wait

Never sellin' short because I know that there's a love

CHORUS:
There is a love [ That's worth the wait to find what you believe in ]
There is a love [ To find someone who'll stand and say the vow ]
There is a love [ There is a love that says I'll wait for you respect you in the way God showed me how ]

V 2:
I've come to the conclusion that we must shed the illusion
That love is just a way that you'll be used
That love with respect will never come to you
You don't have to search around, rely on Him and stand your ground
Delight yourself with the things from above
Open your eyes, and you'll find that there is a love

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Don't give in to the ways of the world
And lies that they tell you [ The lies that they tell ]
Don't believe in the tricks that your mind plays on you
Cause when it's all said and done, in the end you find
That you know there's a love

[ CHORUS OUT ]
