Lyrics
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
Yeah we got
There's only so much you can say
Till words turn into noise
Yeah we go round and round again
But people we were meant to blaze
A life that's beautiful
Yeah we got so much love to give
Don't look to the left or right
You know the future's worth the fight
Don't look to the left or right
Hey yeah
L-O-V-E rolls off the tongue
But sometimes the word's just not enough
Gotta dig a little, dig a little deeper
Hey, yeah
You gotta love with your life
Like a fire burning strong
Till the night has come and gone
There's a hope that lives in you
You gotta love with your life
Like a warrior
Fight, lay it on the line
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
Yeah we got [x8]
You gotta love with your life
Yeah we got [x8]
You gotta love with your life
You crash into a brand new day
The world's up in your face
And they gon' whisper in your ear
Just push 'em back you need your space
To be who you gon' be
You got so much more to give
Don't look to the left or right
You know the future's worth the fight
Don't look to the left or right
Hey yeah
L-O-V-E rolls off the tongue
But sometimes the word's just not enough
Gotta dig a little, dig a little deeper
Hey, yeah
You gotta love with your life
Like a fire burning strong
Til' the night has come and gone
There's a hope that lives in you
You gotta love with your life
Like a warrior
Fight, lay it on the line
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
Don't let it pass us by
Every day and night
Gotta love with your life
Every day and night
Don't let it pass us by
Yeah we got [x8]
You gotta love with your life
Yeah we got [x8]
You gotta love with your life

Meaning & Inspiration
Hollyn's dynamic track, "Love With Your Life (Capital Kings Remix)," released on February 10, 2017, as part of her album *One-Way Conversations*, stands as a vibrant declaration for active faith. The remix infuses an already potent message with an energetic pulse, reinforcing its call to move beyond passive belief into a lived, tangible expression of divine love. At its core, the song grapples with the common human tendency to speak about love and change without truly embodying them, serving as a spiritual rally cry for action in a world hungry for authentic engagement.
The song delves into the profound truth that words, no matter how eloquent, can become hollow if not backed by substance. It highlights the futility of repetitive dialogue and the spiritual inertia that can settle in when we merely "go round and round again," instead of truly living out our purpose. This resonates deeply with Scripture, as James 2:14-17 reminds us, "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." Hollyn's message is an urgent plea to ignite the latent potential within us, to "blaze a life that's beautiful," reflecting the light God has placed in us, much like Matthew 5:16 instructs us to "let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
The central command, "You gotta love with your life," is not just a catchy phrase but a profound theological concept. It’s an invitation to love like a "fire burning strong," an image that evokes the transformative power of God's Spirit within us, much like the fire that consumed the sacrifices in the Old Testament or the tongues of fire at Pentecost. This kind of love is enduring, impactful, and visible, burning bright "till the night has come and gone." It’s a love that mirrors the unwavering commitment described in 1 Corinthians 13, which is patient, kind, and never fails. Furthermore, the song calls us to love "like a warrior, fight, lay it on the line," presenting a powerful image of spiritual courage. This reflects the reality of the Christian walk as a battle, not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, as detailed in Ephesians 6:12. To "fight, lay it on the line" is to wholeheartedly commit to the mission of Christ, demonstrating love through sacrifice and perseverance, echoing 1 Timothy 6:12 to "fight the good fight of the faith."
The lyrics also acknowledge the distractions and pressures of the world, describing how "the world's up in your face" and whispers in your ear, tempting you away from your true calling. This speaks to the constant spiritual warfare believers face, as 1 Peter 5:8 cautions, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." The song encourages pushing back against these influences to "be who you gon' be," asserting one's identity in Christ and focusing on the path ahead, unswayed by external noise or internal doubt. This unwavering focus is what Hebrews 12:1-2 teaches when it urges us to "throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus."
Ultimately, "Love With Your Life" is a powerful anthem for transformation, both personal and societal. The repeated affirmation, "If you wanna see a change, you gotta love with your life," serves as a direct challenge, reminding us that genuine change begins with our own active participation and outward expression of divine love. It underscores the truth that the "hope that lives in you" is not meant to be contained but unleashed, becoming a catalyst for good in the world. Colossians 1:27 highlights this internal wellspring of power: "Christ in you, the hope of glory." Hollyn's song is a vibrant call to embody the Gospel daily, to allow the truth of God’s love to permeate every action, every choice, and every interaction, ensuring that our lives become living testimonies to the transformative power of a love that goes beyond mere words.
