thank you for the love you gave me I am gonna keep it

Thank you for the love you gave me
I am gonna keep it
There are times when love betrayed me
I still have the love
I'm thankful for the way God made me
Though sometimes I hate it
When the hatred overtakes me
I still have the love

And it gets hard before it gets easy
But I know love will never leave me
And it gets loud before the quiet
No going back once you find it
It gets hard
