“Jesus Is Love”
By: The Commodores
Father, 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

He won’t let you down
And I know He’s mine
Deep down in my soul
