C                     F
Looking back over the years that I've known

C                          G7
If I had made this journey alone

C                               F
I'd be searching for meaning so empty inside

   C           G7      C
If not for the love of Christ


                     F
I could pretend that I'm satisfied

C                                      G7
Make you believe that I'm enjoying the ride

C                              F
But the smile on my face would be a disguise

   C           G7      C
If not for the love of Christ


    G7                    C
The love of Christ oh the love of Christ

D7                   G7
No finer treasure no greater pride

C               F
I can't imagine living my life

   C           G7      C
If not for the love of Christ


                  F
No mercy to cover all my mistakes

C                                      G7
There'd be no peace through my darkest days

    C                     F
And no hope that I'd ever see paradise

   C           G7      C
If not for the love of Christ


    G7                    C
The love of Christ oh the love of Christ

D7                   G7
No finer treasure no greater pride

C               F
I can't imagine living my life

   C           G7      C
If not for the love of Christ
