Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Love a word that comes and goes,
But few people really know,
What it means to really love somebody,
Love, though the tears may fade away,
I'm so glad your love will stay,
Cause I love you,
And you show me, Jesus,
What it really means to love
(main)
Love, the nights that I cried you loved me,
When I should have died you love me,
I'll never know why you love me,
It's a mystery to me now im glad i see jesus,
When all hope was gone you love me,
You gave me a song that you loved me,
Now I can go on cause you love me,
It's a mystery to me now im glad i see jesus.

What it really means
to love, to love ,to love
Patient,patient, kind, thats love
to love
Patient,patient, kind, thats love
