Common、Leon Bridges、Jonathan McReynolds - God Is Love
Written by:Jonathan McReynolds、Leon Bridges & Common
The unconditional critical mission listen to
The indivisible mystical it was meant for you
And meant for me infinitely
Even been to prisons to visit you
Ask what would Christians do
Well some are harassing Native Americans
If God is love why is hate in the air again
Search for samaritans in the hood misunderstood
A savior comes will he only come for the good
The lost tribe of shabazz and the second class
God I see you in the streets where the checks is cashed
Hear you in the heartbeat hopin' that love'll last
I know you in the words where the first is last
They try to use math to quantify you
In 2005 you saved lives by the bayou
I know you in the mouth of the spouse singing I do
The most vital is how I describe you
Even when the hard times come
I'll be standing in your love
Grateful grateful for this life
You turned on the light
Hey hey
Even when the hard times come
I'll be standing in your love
Grateful grateful for this life
You turned on the light
We were buffalo soldiers dreadlocked rastas
Praying to jehovah rafa in the back of cop cars
Even then we knew that love was not far
It's in the passion of the teachers and the rockstars
The muslim sisters singing allā hu akbar
It's coming from where maya and pop are
It's in the grandchild's stare up at papa
Love is love became the mantra
The montage for creation we need it in relation
When two ships pass one love is the flotation
It's what god used to put the planet in rotation
It's what the culture used to build a hip hop nation
From the basement to the attic where cookie show for magic
It's what we told the world when we said our lives matter
Turn the student to a master hustler to a pastor
That's why I'm a rapper it's all that I'm after
Even when the hard times come
Yeah I know that
I'll be standing in your love yeah
Oh that's why I am
Grateful so grateful for this life
You turned on the light hey hey
God your love has taught me that
Even when the hard times come
Oh I know that I'll
I'll be standing in your love
Hey and I am
Grateful grateful grateful for this life
You turned on the light
You turned on the light yes you did
When it's hard yeah
I know you're right there
Tell me where would I be
Placed it all
Without your love
At your feet
Where would I be
I don't know
Without your light
What tomorrow brings
Tell me where would I be
Without your grace
What I know is
I am so grateful I am so grateful
Oh oh oh I know oh oh
Ooh ooh yeah yeah
Cause you are the light
Mm mm hmm
