Song Lyrics

People are talkin' '
Bout the way I'm walkin'
Troubled by the change in my stride
Everyone's askin' 'Bout the way I'm actin'
Bothered by the look in my eyes
They can see a difference In my way of livin'
But they don't know the reason why I can't wait to tell them what is wrong with me
Love without condition
This is my addiction
It's a need that only God can fill
Once I got to taste it
Nothing could replace it
Now I've let it overtake my will I admit my weakness
Craving it's sweetness I have givin' into it's control
Love has got a hold on me and won't let go
(chorus) I'm under, under the influence I'm under, under the influence I'm under the influence of love
Used to feel empty
Now I have plenty
Ever since I drank from the fountain
With the Spirit in me And the strength it gives me
A little faith can move mountains
Take my life, use me Lord Shine Your light through me for
All the world to see that I am not my own
(chorus)
(bridge) What the world needs is love sweet love
What the world needs is love sweet love
