You Got The Love

by Candi Staton

on Young Hearts Run Free (2000), You Got the Love (1996)

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
I know I can count on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care".
But you've got the love I need to see me through.

Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough.
And things go wrong no matter what I do.
Now and then I feel like life is just too much.
But you've got the love I need to see me through.

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
I know I can count on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care".
But you've got the love I need to see me through.

Time after time I say: "Oh Lord, what's the use".
Time after time I say: "This just won't do".
But sooner or later in life the things you love you lose.
Just like before I know I call on you.

Occasionally my thoughts are brave and friends are few.
Occasionally I cry out: "Lord, what must I do".
Occasionally I call up: "Master, make me new".
You've got the love to see me through.

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
I know I can count on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care".
But you've got the love I need to see me through.

You (got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (got the love, got the love, got the love, I got the love)
You (I got the love, I got the love, I got the love, got the love)
(I got the love) need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through

You got the love (got the love) I need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through

You've got the love, you've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love, you've got the love
You've got the love, mmm hmm
