Love
Chris Tomlin's song "Love," featuring the Watoto Children's Choir, is a worship ballad that explores the sustaining power of God's love in difficult times. The lyrics acknowledge moments when hope and faith feel weak, yet affirm that love remains a constant source of forgiveness and comfort. The song emphasizes love's ability to heal, comfort, and transform, and it encourages believers to love one another as a reflection of God's love. The inclusion of the Watoto choir and a phrase in Luganda highlights the global and unifying nature of this message.
[With Watoto Children's Choir]
When our hope is hard to find
And our faith is in decline
We need a cause to stand behind - love
We all want the way it feels
Time it comes and time it steals
What remains, what is real - love
[Chorus:]
There is love
There is forgiveness
There is love in times of need
When life is cold there is a promise
You will never go without...
There is love
It heals the sick
Comforts the weak
Breaks the proud
Raises the meek
In this life no guarantees...
Love is the answer
Love will find a way
When we love one another
It's a brighter day
O-kwa-ga-la-kwe,
Ku-singa-byoo-na,
Bwe-twa-ga-la-na-o-lu-na-ku-lu-suu-fu
