Let Your Love Be Strong / Your Love Is Strong

By: Switchfoot (Oh! Gravity), Jon Foreman (Spring).

In this world of news, I found nothing new; I found nothing pure. Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that Truth could be fact and form: that love could be a verb; maybe I'm just a little misinformed. As the dead moon rises and the freeways sigh, let the trains watch over the tides and the mists, spinning circles in our skies tonight; let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles. Maybe our stars are unanimously tired.


Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down. 
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thundercloud.
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes.
All of my world--hanging on Your love.

Let the wars begin. Let my strength wear thin. Let my fingers crack. Let my world fall apart. Train the monkeys on my back to fight. Let it start tonight. When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground, falling down like broken satellites,

Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down.
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thundercloud.
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes. 
All of my world--hanging on...
All of my life--resting on Your love.

Heavenly Father, You always amaze me. Let Your kingdom come in my world and in my life. Give me the food I need to live through today. Forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me. Lead me far from temptation. Deliver me from the evil one.

I look out the window: the birds are composing. Not a note is out of tune or out of place.
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers, better dressed than any girl on her wedding day.
So why do I worry? Why do I freak out? God knows what I need; You know what I need.

Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong.
Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong. 
Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong. 

The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing. Invade my heart; invade this broken town.
The kingdom of the heavens is buried treasure. Would you sell yourself to buy the One you found?
Two things You told me: You are strong and You love me. Yes, You love me...

Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong. 
Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong. 
Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong. 
Our God in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name above all names!
Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us weary sinners!
Lead us far away from our vices and deliver us from these prisons!
