Lyrics It Takes Love - Grits

It Takes Love

Still waters run deep
Muddy waters wont keep
Love love it takes love
More than love is God above
Heaven knows its not enough
Cause this thing can be so rough
Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you
Cause still waters will run deep
If in you my faith I keep
This thing called love
(Love love it takes love)
I used to occasionally try my hand relationally
Obsessive with outside appearance and what I saw facially
What I had to have just didn’t add up Amount to much
Of what was revealed
Seein past they looks and such
The baggage piled up Revealin' shine through
Feathers riled up Emotions rev like a engine, engine
Then they drive up Soon she jet,
I shoot for the exit myself
A quick outro
And im off for words like Guenith Paltro
Wanna be my soul mate
Muster up change
For the toll gate
The life I was chasin
When real I used to roll fake
With designed tate
The right thing I always did last
And like an outbreak
Everything caught up with me to fast
They cant stop me Come out
Pure as gold and do I fold
Dismiss the latter
Then I embrace the promise told
I receive it And with Christ like faith
I believe it Pre destined
Manifested
I wanted to see it tested
(hook)
Still waters run deep (Love love it takes love More than love is God above)
Muddy waters wont keep (Heaven knows its not enough Cause this thing can be so rough)
Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you (makin sure my thing is right)
Cause still waters will run deep (we'll start a secret comes to life
If in you my faith I keep
This thing called love
As the sun rises daily
Im awaken
How do I begin
Dealin with the past
Guilty of sin
Though I know im not enslaved by his power
Deep inside my soul is free
But my mind reflects time and time again
Frustration
got me burnin from degrees of seperation
cause my knees put a distance in between a close relation
with my chidren
in a physical sense contact is limited
to often as possible
visits and phone conversations
Raise the fact
I know im only part of half of the blame
But in full I feel the shame
And that present
Its not the same
As when I was there
To give them names
And my presence was felt
To save the claim that I was dad
So often I feel sadness
Of the out come of the madness
With me and momma
Now we all face the drama
Through faith
Thank God for healin
Yes this price I must pay
Not a day goes by I don’t invision your face
Please forgive me Hook 2x
Still waters run deep
Muddy waters wont keep
Hook 2x
Still waters run deep
Muddy waters wont keep
Making sure my thing is right
We’ll start a secret comes to life
Hook
Love love it takes love
More than love is God above
Heaven knows its not enough
Cause this thing can be so rough
Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you
Cause still waters will run deep
If in you my faith I keep
This thing called love
