For the Love of God

<p>Yesterday we drove all night to Pittsburgh<br/>Jamie laid her head down in the back<br/>My little boys asleep beside their sister<br/>They&#x27;re the best I have<br/><br/>I brought an old recording of your father<br/>He was teaching men and women how to love<br/>He carried on about his sons and daughters<br/>Growing up<br/><br/>As we drove across Ohio<br/>At the dawning of the day<br/>I could hear the tune of truth was in his voice<br/>And it felt just like I knew him<br/>Though I never saw his face<br/>Maybe that&#x27;s because I know his boys<br/>Who live their lives<br/>For the love of God<br/>In the name of Jesus<br/>The groom who gave his life<br/>To love his bride<br/><br/>I know you thought you&#x27;d never find a woman<br/>I never thought I&#x27;d have to write this song<br/>But here I am and there you are together<br/>After all<br/><br/>You felt like you were buried<br/>In a city underground<br/>All broken bits and pieces of the past<br/>And somewhere she was searching<br/>On the surface of the mound<br/>She was digging for a treasure that would last<br/>Now she&#x27;s giving you her heart<br/><br/>For the love of God<br/>In the name of Jesus<br/>The groom who gave his life<br/>To love his bride<br/><br/>Now, love is not a feeling in your chest<br/>It is bending down to wash another&#x27;s feet<br/>It is faithful when the sun is in the west<br/>And in the east<br/>It can hurt you as it holds you<br/>In its overwhelming flood<br/>Till only the unshakeable is left<br/>&quot;This new command I give you,&quot; He said<br/>&quot;Love as I have loved&quot;<br/>So brother, love her better than yourself<br/>And give her your heart<br/><br/>For the love of God<br/>In the name of Jesus<br/>The groom who gave his life<br/>To love his bride
