Song Meaning
Candi Staton's 'That's How Strong My Love Is' is a soulful love song that uses vivid imagery of nature and storms to express unwavering commitment. The lyrics speak of enduring love that remains steadfast through challenges, symbolized by an earthquake or a ship in a storm. While the song is romantic in nature, it carries spiritual undertones, referencing being 'heaven bound' and building a 'fortress from love.' However, the primary focus is on human love and devotion, not explicitly Christian worship or gospel themes. The song does not mention God, Jesus, or faith directly, making it more of a secular love ballad than a Christian song.

Some people they call me crazy
For falling in love with you
They can take me and lock me away baby
'Cause there's nothing those bars can do
I'll be the rising moon after setting sun
Just to let you know you'll always have someone
I'll be the clearest day when the rain is done
So you'll always know
Through the shake of an earthquake
I will never fall
That's how strong my love is
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all
That's how strong my love is
I use to feel kinda lonely
'Cause the world it can be so fake
All that matters I'm telling you
Is you and me only
And the fortress from love we make
I'll be the water you need in the desert land
Just to let you know you'll always have my hand
I'll be the woman you need to be a better man
So you'll always know
Through the shake of an earthquake
I will never fall
That's how strong my love is
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all
That's how strong my love is
Oh, can't nothing break us down
Oh, 'cause we are heaven bound
Like the mountain standing tall
Immovable; we're here to stay
Oh, can't nothing get in the way
Through the shake of an earthquake
I will never fall (I will never fall)
That's how strong my love is (That's how strong my love is)
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all (We can risk it all)
That's how strong my love is (That love is)
Through the deepest waters
I won't let you drown (I won't let you drown, oh)
That's how strong my love is (Oh, that's how strong my love, my love, my love)
'Cause we're the moon in the sky
That will never come down (Never come down)
That's how strong my love is (Oh, that's how strong my love is)
That's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is
