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
