Such a desperate hour
I've never seen it so
It's a world at war and it shows
So many battle lines being drawn
There's a storm about to break
If you feel it can't go on
Then what will it take

It's gonna take love
It's gonna take love
Gonna take a lotta love from everyone
It's gonna take love
It's gonna take love
Nothing but the love of God
In everyone
It's gonna take love

Inside the church
Or out on the darkest street
We need a common ground
Where we can meet
And there's no substitute for love
It's the feet and hands of faith
You can never get it enough
'Cause that's what it takes
