Love Isn'T Love

I can tell you how I feel for you
And all the things that I could do
To show you the love I have is true
There are many words that I could say
Some melodies that I'd like to play
To show you the love I have is true
But my thoughts may change and my words they'll pass
And only what I do is gonna last
And this will show you the love I have is true

The lonely runaway
That has no place for his head to lay
Who will show them that they're loved
The one who's lost a friend
And feels the emptiness within
The pain they feel should be mine
So I've got to take the time
To let my light shine, my light shine
And show the love of Jesus Christ

Love isn't love 'til you've given it away
It's just waiting to be given
All bitterness erased
By this, men will know that you're Christ's disciples
And none else can take the place of love

Love isn't love 'til you've given it away
The pain they feel should be mine
So I've got to take the time
To let my light shine, my light shine
And show the love of Jesus Christ
Love isn't love 'til you've given it away
It's just waiting to be given
All bitterness erased
By this, men will know that you're Christ's disciples
And none else can take the place of love

Love isn't love
I love you just doesn't mean the same anymore
You can preach and shout and talk real loud
It still isn't love
I'm here to tell you this evening
You've got to reach way down in the bottom of your heart
Give it away

Love isn't love 'til you've given it away
Love away
You've got to give your love away
Love away
What good will love do you if you keep it to yourself?
Somebody needs to receive it from you
So give it to somebody else
