Love's Divine
Seal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Then the rainstorm came over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my belief, you see
And realized my mistake
But time threw a prayer to me
And all around me became still

I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes

'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name

Well, I try to say there's nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me

'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name





Love can help me know my name

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Seal's song "Love's Divine" convey the message of the transformative power of love. The song begins with the artist feeling defeated and lost, having given up on his beliefs. However, he experiences a breakthrough when he encounters what he calls "sanctuary" during a rainstorm. This experience by extension represents the turning point in his life when he is able to find his reality and find meaning. The song then becomes a plea for love, specifically stating that love is what he needs to help him know his name. The chorus is a powerful statement of this point: "I need love, love's divine, please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind. Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name."


The second half of the song features the artist reflecting on how he had been lying to himself that nothing was wrong when he was actually lost and in need of love. He acknowledges the message of the song to be plain to see and asks that he not be forsaken, promising that love can help him know his name. Overall, the song is a powerful reminder that love can transform and restore individuals, that it can make someone feel whole and give them a sense of purpose.
