Behind The Song: We Are Messengers Share The Heart Behind Their Song “Love”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from We Are Messengers. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Love.”

“I was walking home from dinner one night back to my hotel room feeling particularly lost and disappointed in myself. I looked up to the sky and just said ‘God I’m kind of sick of me. I’m running around in circles, never able to enjoy anything and always looking for what’s next.’ And so we had this conversation and what I heard Him say was ‘don’t hang your head when you get lonely. I’ll never leave your side. Don’t go thinking you’re the only one that can’t get it right. You’ve got my love.’” – Darren Mulligan (We Are Messengers)

“Love” Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
I know that’s what they say
But right now it seems this loneliness won’t go away
Can anybody feel this heartache?
Is anyone around?
Feels like we’re running ’round in circles
We can’t catch a breath
We can’t always enjoy the moment
When we always want what’s next
Just when I can’t take no more
It’s when I hear You say

[Chorus]
Don’t hang your head when you get lonely
No, I’ll never leave your side
And don’t go thinking you’re the only
One that can’t get it right
Yeah, you got my love
Love, love, love
Down in your soul
Yeah, you got my love
Love, love
And I won’t let you go

[Verse 2]
I know there’s nowhere I can run
There’s nowhere I can hide
From the one who gave His life
So I could get back mine (Yeah)
So when you can’t take no more
Look up and hear Him say

[Chorus]
Don’t hang your head when you get lonely
No, I’ll never leave your side
And don’t go thinking you’re the only—
One that can’t get it right
Yeah, you got my love
Love, love, love
Down in your soul
Yeah, you got my love
Love, love
And I won’t let you go

[Bridge]
Your mercy is new every morning
Your grace sustains all of my life
You are the one that I run to
In You I am satisfied
Oh
Your mercy is new every morning
Your grace sustains all of my life
You are the one that I run to
In You I am satisfied

[Chorus]
Don’t hang your head when you get lonely
No, I’ll never leave your side
And don’t go thinking you’re the only
One that can’t get it right
Yeah, you got my love
Love, love, love
Down in your soul
Yeah, you got my love
Love, love
And I won’t let you go
