"LET ME LOVE ON YOU"
"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as
death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty
flame." - Song of Solomon 8:6
"I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD."
- Hosea 2:19-20
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gether your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!" - Luke 13:34
There's no hell that's hot enough, no grave too deep
No stone that can't be rolled away
There's no cross too heavy, child, that I would not gladly bear
There's no price I would hesitate to pay
(Chorus):
Let me love on you, let me love on you
You don't have to pay me, trade me or persuade me
I'll just love on you
I sent you poets, baby, to pen sweet lines of love
I left a million undiscovered clues
I sent you prophets, lady, to beg you, "Please come home"
They all came back bloody, beaten and abused
(Repeat chorus)
Don't let them tell you I don't love you, no no
Don't let them say that I don't care
It's not true
Don't let them throw you to the lions of despair
Go ahead and cry, it's alright
I've got two strong arms
All the better to hold you with, my friend
(Repeat chorus twice)
My love, let me love on you
Please, please, let me love on you
Ooh, ooh yeah, let me love on you
'Cause I want to, let me love on you
Ooh, let me love on you
Please, please let me love on you
Oh let me love on you
You don't have to pay me
Please, please let me love on you...
