Jesus loves me this I know  

My momma and the bible always told me so  

Some seeds take more time to grow  

And I guess that was me  


(I remember) 

Sunday school 

All dressed up

I can still hear sweet Miss Sylvia saying  

Ain?t no love like Jesus love  

Let?s bow our heads and pray  


All at once it all just clicked  

I heard your voice and that was it  


Suddenly my black and white 

Turn into brilliant colors 


Suddenly my heartbeat 

Found a brand new song to sing 


I guess you never see until you see it for yourself and now I see 


This is what they meant when they said love, la la love

Oh this is what they meant when they said love, la la love 

Love will change your life 


Grass is greener on the other side 

Most of the time that?s just a lie 

But since the day I saw the light 

It?s never been so true 


The sky is bluer, the sun is brighter 

The lows ain?t so low but the highs are higher 

There?s a skip in my step and my worries are lighter

Ever since I found you 


All at once it all just clicked

I heard your voice and that was it


(We?re singing)

All at once it all just clicked

I heard your voice and that was it
