Love is a Beautiful Thing

I never knew love could be like this ...
How it wants to protect me
thru the hard times that always exist

Makes that hardest heart break down
make a person who hates
love himself so he can love others around

It takes love to forgive everyone
for all the things they've done
it's not easy but the kingdom will come

you gotta learn why it that we're here
it's for the love in your life
it's making sure your life totally His

Now if you could just catch my heart
then we can part from the past
let days of the new love start, because

refrain:  Love is a beautiful thing
          It brings together people of every generation.
          Love can heal the pain of a broken world
          it's got to start with love
          and all it takes is love

love is a beautiful thing ... love is beautiful

well i've got to make it clear
love's the reason we are here
we're the object of affection
from a God who holds us dear

And everywhere we go
and everything that we do 
everytime that we love ...
it's a reflection of You

'cuz You are ... You are true love
so make it really love

stop holding onto the past so we
can bask in the rays
let the days of the new love last, because ...

     (refrain)

I didn't see it come ... I didn't see it go
I never knew a love like this before

I'm so glad You found me
I'm so glad You found me ... yea

I didn't see it come ... I didn't see it go
I never knew a love like this before

I'm so glad You found me
I'm so glad You found me

I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad You found me

They say all you need is love
to bring about change and
all you need is one to ignite the flame and 
if the soul group one
we'll be the first to say that we
lighten up this torch and runni'n in love's name

we searched around the globe and even looked to the stars
tried to fill the void with money and nice cars,
took advice from songs in the top 10 charts,
and never realized that it starts in the heart

       (refrain)
       (refrain)
