lyrics

Love of God
Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler

Did you walk with the Lord in the Garden?
Did you walk with the Lord in the dew of the morning?
When you were young, did you play in the sun?
Sing with the birds and be swift in your run?
For all that you did and did not,
Was it not for the Love of God?

Did you sing to the Lord in the Church?
Did you sing to the Lord ‘til your vocal chords hurt?
Did the pipe organ swell, did the old preacher yell?
Did you know every sign on the Long Road to Hell--
For all that you would and would not,
Was it not for the Love of God?

Did you fight for the Lord with your gun?
DId you fight for the Lord and for Kingdom Come?
Did you show them the Way with your bullet spray?
Was the Truth in your heart when you scattered the part?
Was in Life that you gave when you took theirs away?
Does your Savior bleed like this chaff and this wheat?
For all that you did and did not--
Was it not, for the Love of God?
