He Said Love Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

There once was a man 

Who was born to be king 

He changed all our lives 

And he made my heart sing 

He turned water into wine 

And called his fishermen 

He cured the sick, the lame could walk 

The blind could see again 

He told us of the shepherds 

And the flowers in the field 

The story of the farmer's seed 

And the harvest it would yield 

He told us of two houses 

And the man who lost his son 

Of two men in the temple 

And the Good Samaritan 

Love, only love's gonna take you higher 

(Love) 

Love, only love's gonna carry you home 

(Love) 

He healed the soldier's servant 

He calmed the raging sea 

He shared five loaves and two small fish 

And five thousand he did feed 

He told the rich men share your wealth 

He cured the ten sick men 

He raised a friend called Lazarus 

And made him whole again 

He said, "Love, only love's gonna take you higher" 

(Love) 

Love, only love's gonna carry you home 

(Love) 

He taught the people how to pray 

The children he did bless 

And Mary came with perfume 

Before his feet she wept 

He gave us bread, His body 

He gave us wine, His blood 

He asked us all to live in peace 

And nothing do but good 

Now one friend did betray him 

Another did deny 

With arms outstretched he died 

So all of mankind could survive 

There once was a man 

Who was born to be king 

He'll change all your lives 

If you'll just let him in 

He said, "Love, only love's gonna take you higher" 

(Love) 

He said, "Love, only love's gonna carry you home" 

(Love) 

Love and understanding carries you home 

Love, only love's gonna take you higher 

(Love, higher and higher) 

He said, "Love, only love's gonna carry you home" 

(Love, only love's gonna carry you home) 

Love, only love's gonna take you higher 

(Love, higher and higher) 

He said, "Love, only love's gonna carry you home" 

(Love, only love's gonna carry you home)
