well, you've probably figured out that it means love. And like other's have said, "amour" is the actual noun but the "l'" is the article meaning "the." Amour is a masculine noun, so the article is "le" (if it were feminine it would be "la") but the noun begins with a vowel so it becomes "l'amour" because the french don't really like having two vowel sounds in a row at the end/beginning of words. Does that make sense? Either way, your question's been answered a bazillion times. Oh, and "Pour l'amour du Dieu" actually literally means "For the love of God," though it "for heaven's sake" means pretty much the same thing.
HOPE THAT HELPED.

As others have said, it means "love", literally "the love." Articles are used in romance languages (French, Spanish, etc.) where we would not in English, and are not used in places we would use them. This is an example of the former: though we would just say "love", in French you often say "the love." It's actually the masculine article "le", which, when followed by a vowel, gets collapsed into just the L plus apostrophe.

love
the l' is the definite article 'the' so the word you wrote is the noun.
Je t'aime could mean both 1. I like you 2. or I love you.
maybe someone who is fluent in French will do me one better?

It's "love".
(Literally "the love", but we do not need the definite article in English)
