Thursday Tunes - “Luv is a Verb”

The past few weeks at church, the fact that “love is a verb” has been mentioned several times. Every single time it’s mentioned, the old DC Talk song “Luv Is A Verb” pops into my head. :)

 

“Luv Is A Verb” by DC Talk

Intro:
Take this ?? for a ride
Boom! Burn! Bip! Yeah! Pow! Hey, ha ha.
Down with the DC Talk, d-d-down with the DC Talk
Are you down with the DC Talk, d-d-down with the DC Talk?

Verse 1:
Pullin' out my big black book
'Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look
So I move to the "L's" quick, fast, in a hurry
Threw on my specs', thought my vision was blurry
I looked again but to my dismay
It was black and white with no room for gray
Ya see a big "V" stood beyond my word
And yo that's when it hit me that luv is a verb
Words come easy but they don't mean much
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout luv in a different light
And if we all learn to luv it would be just right

Chorus:
Hey, tell me haven't ya heard (haven’t ya heard?)
Luv is a serious word (serious, serious word!)
Hey, I think it's time ya learned
I don't care what ya say
I don't care what ya heard
The word luv
luv is a verb
Down with the DC Talk, d-d-down with the DC Talk
Are you down with the DC Talk, d-d-down with the DC Talk?

Verse 2:
Thinkin' of a way to explain-o
'Cause ya knowin' that I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o
Simple and plain L-O-V-E
Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV
Put soap's on a rope 'cause they ain't worth cope'n
With it's a myth that there ain't no hope and
Luv is enough if it's unconditionally
Given now ya livin' out the Great Commission
Words come easy but they don't mean much
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout luv in a different light
And if we all learn to luv it would be just right

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Back in the day there was a man (a man)
Who stepped outta heaven and He walked the land (walked the land)
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
With a heart full of luv and the Truth in His voice
Gave up His life so that we may live
How much more luv could the Son of God give
Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin'
'Cause luv is a word that requires some action
Words come easy but they don't mean much
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout luv in a different light
And if we all learn to luv it would be just right

(Chorus)
