Allen Tate - Your Love is Enough

Copied!

{Intro}
One, two
One, two, three

{Verse 1}
My faith is running thin
That good will ever win
And every night they say that it's
The worst it's ever been

{Verse 2}
It seems we're losing sight
Our nerve and then our might
The only thing I trust at all's
Your hand in mine at night

{Pre-Chorus}
The whole world's gonna burn down
And I can't see how it all works out

{Chorus}
Your love is enough
Your love is enough
Your love is enough to make me believe

{Verse 2}
One day we'll be three
Our folks'll come to see
The house we made for ourselves
And teach us how to lead

{Pre-Chorus}
These four walls might just fall down
And I can't see how we all get out

{Chorus}
Your love is enough
Your love is enough
Your love is enough to make me believe
Your love is enough to make me believe
Your love is enough to make me believe
