For The Love Of God Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Yesterday we drove all night to Pittsburgh
[F]Jamie laid her head down in the back
My [C]little boys asleep beside their sister
They're the best [Em]I have

[Verse 2]
I [C]brought an old recording of your father
He was [F]teaching men and women how to love
He [C]carried on about his sons and daughters
Growing [Em]up

[Pre-chorus 1]
As we [F]drove across Ohio
At the dawning of the day
I could [C]hear the tune of truth was in his voice
And it [F]felt just like I knew him
Though I never saw his face
[C]Maybe that's because I know his boys
Who live their [G]lives
For the [F]love of God

[Chorus 1]
[C]
In the name of [F]Jesus
The groom who gave his [G]life

[Interlude 1]
To love his
[C](bride)[F][C][F]

[Verse 3]
Well, I [C]know you thought
you'd never find a woman
Well, I [F]never thought
I'd have to write this song
But [C]here I am and there you are together
After [Em]all

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh, you [F]felt like you were buried
In a city underground
[C]All broken bits and pieces of the past
And [F]somewhere she was searching
On the surface of the mound
She was [C]digging for a treasure that would last
Now she's giving you her [G]heart
For the [F]love of God

[Chorus 2]
[C]
In the name of [F]Jesus
The groom who gave his [C]life
To love his [F]bride
For the love of [C]God
In the name of [F]Jesus
The groom who gave his [G]life

[Interlude 2]
To love his
[C](bride)[F][C][F]

[Verse 4]
Now, [C]love is not a feeling in your chest
It is [F]bending down to wash another's feet
It is [C]faithful when the sun is in the west
And [Em]in the east

[Pre-chorus 3]
It can [F]hurt you as it holds you
In its overwhelming flood
Till [C]only the unshakeable is left
“This [F]new command I give you,” He said,
“Love as I have loved”
So [C]brother, love her better than yourself
And give her your [G]heart
For the [F]love of God

[Chorus 3]
[C]
In the name of [F]Jesus
The groom who gave his [C]life
To love his [F]bride
For the love of [C]God
In the name of [F]Jesus
The groom who gave his [G]life

[Outro 1]
To love
[C](his bri[F]de)[C][F]
[C]
