“Love Theory” finds Kirk in his element, mixing the message of gospel with the secular sounds of R&B to create soul-saving music that doesn’t feel preachy. A driving piano and guitar melody propels the song in a danceable groove that automatically makes the listener feel good. But it’s the sound of the perfectly arranged choir that really brings the song’s message home, with the heavenly voices of the singers drawing listeners into their praise and worship. Kirk brings the message home with the song’s video, which features him leading what looks to be the liveliest choir practice we’ve ever seen.

[Intro]
Brothers and sisters
I wanna welcome you back to life
Back to the one that can make your
Brothers and sisters
I wanna welcome you back to life
Back to the one that can make your
next chapter
Your best chapter
Hallelujah
[Verse 1]
How can it be that you love the most unlovable part of me, of me?
How could you see your life was the only gift I’ll ever need to be free?
It’s amazing with you, I win even if I lose
Everything’s working for my good for always
[Chorus]
He saved the day
He will come through
He won’t doubt, that’s not what super heroes do
No greater love makes my heart beat
All I wanna do is make you proud of me
[Post-Chorus]
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody, love nobody but you
[Verse 2]
How can it be, everyone of my secrets that you keep
You cover me?
A mystery, your patience with me, God, will never leave
Don’t ever leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Help me to see like you
No matter what I go through
Everything’s working for my good for always
[Chorus]
He saved the day
He will come through
He won’t doubt, that’s not what super heroes do
No greater love makes my heart beat
All I wanna do is make you proud of me
[Post-Chorus]
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody, love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody, love nobody but you
[Bridge]
Loving you will be, will be the death of me
That’s how it’s supposed to be
More of you, less of me
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody, love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody, love nobody but you
[Chorus]
He saved the day
He will come through
He won’t doubt, that’s not what super heroes do
No greater love makes my heart beat
All I wanna do is make you proud of me
He saved the day
He will come through
He won’t doubt, that’s not what super heroes do
No greater love makes my heart beat
All I wanna do is make you proud of me
[Outro]
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody, love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody but you
I don’t wanna love nobody, love nobody but you
