If Not for the Love of Christ

Looking back over the years that I've known

If I had made this journey alone

I'd be searching for meaning so empty inside

If not for the love of Christ

I could pretend that I'm satisfied

Make you believe that I'm enjoying the ride

But the smile on my face would be a disguise

If not for the love of Christ

The love of Christ oh the love of Christ

No finer treasure no greater prize

I can't imagine living my life

If not for the love of Christ

No mercy to cover all my mistakes

There'd be no peace through my darkest days

And no hope that I'd ever see paradise

If not for the love of Christ
