Jesus Is Love
Commodores · Gold [2008]
Help Your children
And don't let them fall
By the side of the road
And teach them
To love one another
That Heaven might find
A place in their hearts
'Cause Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine forever
Oh, in my heart
We've got to walk on
Walk on through temptation
'Cause His love and His wisdom
Will be our helpin' hand
And I know the truth
And His words will be our salvation
Lift up our hearts
To be thankful and glad
That Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine
Deep down in my soul
Jesus is love
Oh, yes, He is
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, all mine
Forever, oh, in my heart
Help me, heart, heart
Oh, oh
Deep in my heart
I know, I know, I know, I know
Ah, 'cause his love's the power, power
His love's the glory, glory
Forever, ever and ever
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Wherever it leads me
And I don't mind, Lord
I hope You don't mind
I wanna walk with You
And talk with You
And do all the things
