“For the Love of Jesus”
(Old Country Church Choir Style Hymn)
Verse 1
There’s a light in the valley where the river runs slow,
Where the sweet old hymns of mercy still gently go,
Mama’s hands were folded, Daddy bowed his head,
And the words of the Savior were the words we said.
The church bell’s ringin’ like it’s callin’ me home,
Through the dust of the road and the nights I was alone,
And I remember the voices like a wind through the pines,
Sayin’ grace is still alive in these troubled times.
Chorus (Choir Swell)
For the love of Jesus, we are singin’ tonight,
For the love of Jesus, we are walkin’ in the light,
Holdin’ to the promise that will never let go,
Oh, for the love of Jesus, He carries our soul.
Verse 2
There’s an old wooden cross where the faithful still kneel,
Where the broken get mended and the wounded can heal,
And every tear that’s fallen on that worn-out floor,
Is a story of a mercy that keeps wantin’ more.
I was lost in the thunder, I was blind in the rain,
But a whisper from heaven called my name,
And it sounded like hope on a midnight train,
Sayin’ “child, you don’t have to carry that pain.”
Chorus (Choir Swell)
For the love of Jesus, we are lifted again,
For the love of Jesus, He forgives every sin,
From the mountain to the valley, let the story be told,
Oh, for the love of Jesus, He won’t let us go.
Bridge (Soft a cappella feel)
No riches, no power, no crown of gold,
Just a love so gentle, but strong and bold,
And it reaches the sinner and the weary soul,
And it makes what is broken completely whole.
Final Chorus (Big Choir Build)
For the love of Jesus, we are singin’ His name,
For the love of Jesus, we’ll never be the same,
Every voice in the canyon, every heart that knows,
Oh, for the love of Jesus, forever it flows.
Outro (Soft fade)
So we gather together when the daylight is gone,
And we hum that old mercy like a healing song,
And the world fades away like a river to sea…
For the love of Jesus… we are finally free.
