As An Israelite Woman Lyrics

This is love, this is love, this is love

As an Israelite woman

This is love, this is love, this is love

My man needs me like I need him

He builds the house while it gets filled

He gets respect; I honor his name

And as I give, there are no bones of shame

I build him up while he builds the house

I won't be the reason why it gets teared down

Living in the moment, gotta live it now

'Cause when I think about the past, I live in doubt

And every time I don't forgive, I'm breaking vows

We learn to grow in love, not fall in love

'Cause falling means you gotta fall

But we pick each other up, and we are never really lost

It's better to enjoy our time before our time is taken

Never let our joy be taken from Satan

As an Israelite woman

(This is love, this is love, this is love)

I gotta take care of what's needed of me

As an Israelite woman

(This is love, this is love, this is love)

I gotta take care of what's needed of me

Yahawah's saying come, listen to my voice

I promise you a life of peace and of joy

You won't be forsaken; you just gotta trust

Why are you waiting? Give all you can to love

Then see how it grows; the two rivers flows

This is not a game of control

Be a servant to those you have chosen

And keep going

Even through the lows, gotta take it slow

What is patience if you don't?

He will make mistakes, but don't you lose your faith

Give all you can to pray and forgive before it's too late

Forgive, forgive, forgive

Over again, and again, and again

As an Israelite woman

(As an Israelite, as an Israelite)

(This is love, this is love, this is love)

I gotta take care of what's needed of me

(Gotta take care, gotta take care of)

As an Israelite woman

(As an Israelite, oh, oh)

(This is love, this is love, this is love)

I gotta take care of what's needed of me

Gotta take care of what's needed of me

Abba said, "Take care of his needs"

Oh, take care of what's needed of me
