Mighty Sam McClain - Give it up to love

Staring at the river
The river oh so deep
Praying to the Lord
My soul to keep

Trying to hang on
I don't wanna throw it away
I didn't want to leave
But you didn't want to stay

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day

Sitting here thinking
With my head in my hands
I don't want to do wrong
I just want to be a man

I see the sun rise
And I see it when it sets
Staring down lonesome road girl
But I don't see you yet woo Lord

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day
Come on

We must move on
Wherever the road might lead
Sometimes we may cry
We may fall down to our knees

But keep your mind wide open
And pray every now and then
Open up your heart
And let love be your friend

I don't want to do no wrong Lord
But it's kind of hard to do what's right
Trying- trying to hold on my Lord
Lord I'm trying to stand up like a man

And I know I know I'm tired
Woo but I'm trying to do the best that I can
And I don't mean I don't to be crying
Woo I just need
I just need a helping hand
Somebody ought to help me right now

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day

I heard him say
Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day

Everybody say
Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day

Everybody say
Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day Lord
