Commodores
Lyrics
Father
Help your children
And don't let them fall
By the side of the road, mmm... mmm...
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
That Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine
Deep down in my soul
Jesus is love
Oh, yes, He is
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, all mine
Forever, oh, in my heart
Help me, heart, heart
Ooh... ooh...
(My heart)
I know, I know, I know, I know
Ah, 'cause His love's the power (Power)
His love's the glory (Glory)
Forever (Ever and ever)
Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

I wanna follow your star
Wherever it leads me
And I don't mind, Lord
I hope you don't mind
I wanna walk with you
And talk with you
And do all the things you want me to do
'Cause I know that Jesus
(Jesus is Love, I know)
I know, Lord
