Love to Be Loved

The world keeps on spinning
Winners keep on winning
I've known it from the beginning
But it doesn't change a thing
I cry upon your shoulder
My old keeps getting older
I thought I'd be much bolder
And that's why you hear me sing

I cry, I beg, I plead it
But Lord will you receive it?
Believers please believe it
Because I feel I'm running dry
My faith is disappointing
Anoint me with your anointing
But steeples keep on pointing
To the rock that's higher than I

I love to be loved
To be loved by love

Is my ineptitude showing?
You only know by knowing
I don't see the growing
I just feel the breaking down
Each day turns to seven
You can't unleaven the leaven
My favorite slice of heaven
Is the silence in the sound

I love to be loved
To be loved by love
