let it be forever

in a world of broken hearts

love is just a word

used so often

what is means is blurred

people grow so hungry for a love they can believe

and will they find it here in you and me

oh you must be care

if it's love you're promising

you can never

never

ever speak lightly

it should cost you everything

if you're gonna call it love

oh

then let it be forever

let it be forever

if you're gonna call it love

oh

then let it be forever

love has come from god and in this love we share

people see an image of him there

it can be an invitation that leads to deeper truth

the kind of love they find in me and you

oh

we can be a witness

right before their eyes

a living love that's rooted in

the very love of christ

if you're gonna call it love

oh

then let it be forever

oh

then let it be forever

if you're gonna call

if you're gonna call

it love

it love

oh

then let it be forever

i don't know what this world may think of love

oh

but let our hearts remain true

to the notion that love goes beyond just emotion

into faith

into hope

into trust

call it love

if you're gonna call it love

call it love

won't you let it be forever

won't you let it be

let it be

if you're gonna call it love

won't you let it be forever

call it love

call it love

call it love

won't you let it be forever

it's got to be forever

let it be
