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 you can't go on, then what will it take'

It's gonna take love, it's gonna take love,
Gonna take a lot of 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 give it enough, 'cause that's what it takes.

It's gonna take love, it's gonna take love,
Gonna take a lot of 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.

It's gonna take love, it's gonna take love,
Gonna take a lot of love from everyone,
It's gonna take love, it's gonna take love,
Gonna take a lot of love from everyone.

Ooh.

Nothing but the love of God,
I said it's gonna take...it's gonna take love,
