If Not For The Love Of Christ Lyrics & Chords

By Jeff Silvey & Tony Wood

(D)Looking back over the(G)years that I've known
(D)If I had made this journey (A)alone
(D)I'd be searching for meaning so(G)empty inside
If (D)not for the (A)love of (D)Christ

I could pretend that I'm satisfied
Make you believe that I'm enjoying the ride
But the smile on my face would be a disguise
If not for the love of Christ

Chorus
The (A)love of Christ oh the (D)love of Christ
(E)No finer treasure no (A)greater prize
(D)I can't imagine(G)living my life 
If (D)not for the (A)love of (D)Christ

No mercy to cover all my mistakes
There'd be no peace through my darkest days 
And no hope that I'd ever see paradise
If not for the love of Christ
