Lyrics
WITHOUT LOVE
Without love it doesn?t mean a thing
Without love it doesn?t mean a thing
Without love it?s less than nothing at all
Without love it doesn?t mean a thing
Without love it doesn?t mean a thing
Without love it?s less than nothing at all
There have been times when I have spoken
In a language given from above
Yet I know the Father?s heart was broken
?Cause I didn?t speak those words in love
Other times I?ve stumbled and I?ve stammered
To let somebody know I care
And though it came out kind of dumb to me
The Father heard it as a prayer
There have been times I?ve thrown a dollar
In the plate they pass around at church
Then crossed the street and turned my back
On a brother out of work
And though that dollar eased my taxes
And made my conscience kind of numb
Until God?s love outweighed my greed
There was no giving being done
