Whisper softly to me
Share with me your heart
And just ignore the world and what it does
I know that you’ve been hurting, you’ve been torn apart
And I pull you close and hold you in my arms

If you give love
I’ll return the love and you will see
So much more than you gave away
If you give love
Give it to me

Listen very closely as I sing this song
And please believe that I mean every word
When I say I love you
I mean it with all my heart
Let it be the best thing that you’ve ever heard

Whisper softly to me
Share with me your heart

Behind the Song:
“Every time we go into the studio, there’s one song--and a lot of times it’s something we record towards the very end--that just becomes a really special moment. It’s like we’ve already made all the musical statements that we need to make and then we kind of just have fun with one and I think “Give Love” is that song on the record. I somehow wound up playing a banjo on it. I have no idea where that came from. I really like the lyric of that song, just the sentiment of that, just the idea that God’s giving us this love and it’s kind of our job to give it in return. It just keeps going around. It’s that whole ‘pay it forward idea.’ It’s a real fun song.” – Mark Lee (Third Day)
