God Is Love (Feat. Leon Bridges, Jonathan McReynolds)

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 [Chorus: Leon Bridges] 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 [Verse 2: Common] 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 "allāhu 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 [Chorus: Leon Bridges, Jonathan McReynolds] 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 for this life (Grateful) You turned on the light You turned on the light, yes you did [Outro: Leon Bridges, Jonathan McReynolds] 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
