Under the Influence (Mark Heimermann)

People are talkin'

'Bout the way I'm walkin'

Troubled by the change in my stride

Everyone's askin'

'Bout the way I'm actin'

Bothered by the look in my eyes

They can see a difference

In my way of livin'

But they don't know the reason why

I can't wait to tell them what is wrong with me

Love without condition

This is my addiction

It's a need that only God can fill

Once I got to taste it

Nothing could replace it

Now I've let it overtake my will

I admit my weakness

Craving it's sweetness

I have givin' into it's control

Love has got a hold on me and won't let go

(chorus)

I'm under, under the influence

I'm under, under the influence

I'm under the influence of love

Used to feel empty

Now I have plenty

Ever since I drank from the fountain

With the Spirit in me

And the strength it gives me

A little faith can move mountains

Take my life, use me Lord

Shine Your light through me for

All the world to see that I am not my own

(chorus)

(bridge)

What the world needs is love sweet love

What the world needs is love sweet love
