My heart cannot bear to defy its loyalty;

My heart knows who (who) has been a friend to me.

I won't stop my love from growing.

I won't stop my heart from loving.

I won't pull the roots of love out of my emotions:

I can't live without your love. Ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

When you walked away I started yearning, learning.

When you left my love you started spinning, spinning, spinning.

A cocoon of loneliness, a cocoon of brokenness, a cocoon of emptiness, a cocoon of hurt. You're dying in your closed-off world.

God sowed a seed within my heart; I can't help but sing:

No plant or animal is smaller than the seed from which it came. (repeat)

I've got a seed of love planted in my heart. No seed is larger than its plant.

Let my love, let my love grow. Let my love grow.

Do you want to grow? Do you want to grow?

Sweetly I hear love singing, a song unheard before,

“If love would touch the deep side of you, You cannot help but live.”

Oh let me live, just loving you

Let me live through God's sweet grace.

Oh let me live, I want to love, I want to give, I want to be.

I want to be love, love. I want to be real love.

No seed is larger than the plant from which it came, this you must concede.

For then growth could not be realized.

All plants are larger than their seed.

No seed is larger than its plant the seed of love is planted in my heart.

My love is larger, than the hate you brought.

Larger than the loneliness you brought. Larger than the detachment. your brought.

When you wanted to touch me no more, no more.

But I loved you even though you wanted to touch me no more. (2xs)For I love you even as God loves.

I am drawn in your arms.

As God is drawn into the hearts of those He loves.
