Best of My Love
Tommy Reeve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When god dips his pen of love in my heart
And writes my soul a message, he wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills this sinful soul of mine
When god dips his love in my heart

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry
It sets my sinful soul on fire
When god dips his love in my heart

Sometimes though the way is dreary dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to god in prayer, I can always find him there
He whispers sweet peace to my soul

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry
It sets my sinful soul on fire, alleluia
When god dips his love in my heart

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well, it makes you laugh, it makes me cry




Sets my sinful soul on fire, alleluia
When god dips his love in my heart

No matter what mood you're in. This track will life you up. That's 80s for you.

@demogorgon4244

my mom just died but i put this shiz on and i was like "lifed up".

@gimzani

The things I miss most about the 1980s is the optimism. Yeah, we had the last threats of the Cold war - but we were moving forward! We had a GREAT president, we had space shuttle launches - there was nothing we couldn't do - no limits! We were going to the stars! We had money, we had fast cars, beautiful women the best movies and holding it ALL together was the MUSIC - music like this.
The 1980s was probably the biggest creative boom America and the WORLD has ever had. I really hope we can get back to that spirit.

@ditto495

That’s so true. Today we live in meaningless times. There is literally nothing that 1995-2024 will be remembered for. No specific music, clothing styles, cars. Nothing.

@dreadpirateroberts4883

@@ditto495 I think the majority of the populace is right there with you, guys. The question we 80's teens have to ask, and then take action on, is this: WHY is it like this? 🤔 There was a lot set in motion almost 100 years before we were here, and we were the last gen to have that positivity in the marketplace of ideas, culture at large, etc.

@gerter4467

I think I have heard this song more than 100 times, and I still can't get enough of it. ❤️

@sukhwantlota

This song is more 80s then the actual 80s

@XdDDDxDDDDDDxDDDDD

Casue then people don't understood that atmosphere.

@TapizadosPropergoles

Eightier than the eighties

@DennisGruetter

I think that's kind've the point
