Ain't No Love
The Katinas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A few minutes of your time?
Come and go with me
I'm sure that you will find
That you've invested well
In the future of your soul
Love, Joy and Peace are all
The things that we all want
(You feel suspicious)
The same thing that I would do
(I did it)
So many voices (All around you)
A million choices
(But tell me what's the truth)
Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had
Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had
Have you taken time
To think about your life
Is there a void
Fill it up with Christ
I know you've searched yourself
And peace you could not find
Love, Joy, and Happiness
Tranquility of Mind
And I can't blame you
(You feel suspicious)
The same thing that I would do
(I did it)
So many voices (All around you)
A million choices
(But tell me what's the truth)
Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had
Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had
Nananananananamamamamamanamananana
Lalalalalalalalala
Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had
Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had Ain't no love, like the love He gives
There's no life, like the one I have
Gotta try it for yourself
It is better than anything
I know you've ever had
Uhhhoohhhhhhoooohhhh.
The Katinas’ song “Ain’t No Love” is a passionate plea for listeners to consider investing their time and energy into the Christian faith. The song calls for an evaluation of one’s life, asking if there is a void that needs to be filled with Christ. The lyrics emphasize that love, joy, peace, and happiness are the things that everyone wants, and that these things are found in faith. The artist acknowledges that there are many options available, but implores the listener to choose truth and to try the Christian faith for themselves. The song’s repetitive chorus drives home the message that there is no love like the love found in faith, and that it is worth trying because it is better than anything listeners have ever had.
One interesting fact about “Ain’t No Love” is that it was released in 2005 as part of The Katinas’ album “The Collective,” which was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
