Love Does

[Chorus] We hear a lot about what love is You don't hear too much about what it does though Love gives, and looks out for the next person And gives out your best, even when they deserve your worst and Some have a little, some have a lot It's not about how much you got, the point of the plot Is if you have any love at all, you need to share that with the have-nots [Phanatik] Too many people know about hurts And spend their lives livin' on the outskirts Some without work, some without a decent pair of pants and a shirt Others just on a search for purpose, it ain't strange for pity to meet Kids that grow up in the city streets That go to bed hungry, three or four nights out of the week And not because they don't like to eat The price of life is not cheap, but it feels free for some But someone's gotta pay for the freedoms we enjoy You see the military convoys we employ Both on foreign lands and on American soil Some serve out of duty, some live out and truly Embody this thing that's called love, love is unforced And it runs it's course despite the cost and it never comes up short [Chorus] [Phanatik] They told the man who only owns a few scraps To pull himself up, by his own boot straps Now he can't even find two boots that match So tell me how he's supposed to do that? No love, they told the boy with his clothes all torn Early one morn' to stay well and be warm Ok, they didn't ignore'm But was it that they couldn't or that they wouldn't do a little more for him? The father of the family of five He's jugglin' jobs, struggling to keep his family alive Tryin' to hold on to his family ties Needs to be lovingly, nudged to bring his whole family to God It's not all sob stories There's a lot of activity that could bring God the Glory Often donations are made Or time is spent with orphans or with patients with AIDS This is love in action, sometimes love is tough actin' like Tenactin Cause even when it hurts, love will still choose to speak the truth And won't remain hidden, instead of bringing reproof [Chorus] [Phanatik] They're those who give freely It's easy for them to share the love that they have with the needy Then there's the greedy You gotta earn every smile they give and you never catch a freebee What is it that makes one man give And makes another man, put a lock on his, and say "I'm not gon' give?" Maybe it's the difference in the way that he thinks God forgives What he thinks he sees, he does such If he sees he's been forgiven much, he loves much But if he thinks his sins are mad small Then he's never seen love so he can't give it at all To him it's just As if he's earned everything that he has And he never needed a gift and he made it without love But what is it that he has that hasn't actually come down to him from above? [Chorus]
