I've Been Lovin' Y'all For So Long I've Been Lovin' Y'all For So Long L-O-V-E Love Love means so much to me Lord have mercy The way I feel right now This world need more love And I wanna tell you right now He's been with me From the rockin' of my cradle Up until this present time That's why I love him He softened I said the Lord softened To save my soul And this is the part when I love He filled me with the Holy Ghost And Lord knows that's alright I wanna tell you That I've been lovin' God for a long, long time And you know what? I don't intend to stop lovin' Him You know why? Because He's been good to me I wanna ask you out there a question Have He been good to you? Have He been good to you? You know one day He took my loved one I couldn't help but to cry I didn't understand So one day I began to pick up my Bible and read And I began to read this verse Where David said There's no greater love Than the love of God And I love Him I love Him I love Him I love Him And I've been workin' hard A long time I've been workin' hard A long time Sometime I had to cry And right here I'm gonna tell you I'm not tired I've been workin' for Him A long time I've been workin' for Him I've been workin' for Him I've been workin' for Him A long time Fellas, can I bother you? A fella walked up to me He said, Tommy How can you love someone You've never seen before? You know what I told that young man I can't see But I can feel Him I can feel Him All over me In fact, I feel Him right now Lord, I feel good, you know And I told him, number one, why I love Him He hung his head on the cross, boy They pinched him in the side They nailed his hand to the cross The blood comes screamin' out He hung there and died That's why I love Him Oh, I love Him I love Him I love Him I love Him I love Him And I wanna tell you why I love Him L-O-V-E That's right Love Love I wish I had more time But I wanna tell you right now For so long So long For so long I've been lovin' you for so long For so long I'm gonna keep on lovin' you I've come too far To turn around I don't intend to turn around I intend to love you
