Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like throwin' my hands up in the air
I know I can count on You
Sometimes I feel like sayin', "Lord, I just don't care"
But You've got the love I need to see me through
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it seems that the goin' gets so rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then, it feels life is just too much
But You've got the love I need to see me through
[Verse 3]
When food is gone, You are my daily meal
When friends are gone, I know my Savior's love is real
Your love is real
[Verse 4]
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I feel like throwin' my hands up in the air
I know I can count on You
Sometimes I feel like sayin', "Lord, I just don't care"
But You've got the love I need to see me through
[Verse 6]
Every once in a while I'll think, "Lord, I can't go on"
Every once in a while, I get to feelin' blue
Every once in a while, it seems like I am all alone
But You've got the love I need to see me through
[Verse 7]
Occasionally, I cry out, "Lord, what must I do?"
Occasionally, I cry out, "Master, make me new"
You've got the love I need to see me through
Well
[Verse 8]
Sometimes I feel like throwin' my hands up in the air
I know I can count on You
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care"
But You've got the love I need to see me through
[Verse 9]
You've got the love
You've got the love
Whatever I need
You've got it
Yeah
Whatever I want
[Verse 10]
I'm never alone
You've got the love
I need to see me though
You've got the love
I need to see me though
You've got it, yeah
[Verse 11]
Sometimes I feel like throwin' my hands up in the air
I know I can count on You
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care"
But You've got the love I need to see me through
[Verse 12]
Sometimes it seems the going gets so rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then, it feels life is just too much
But You've got the love I need to see me through
[Verse 13]
When food is gone, You are my daily meal
Ooh, ooh
When friends are gone, I know my Savior's love is real
Your love is real
