Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father
Help Your children
And don't let them fall
By the side of the road
Mmm
[Verse 2]
And teach them
To love one another
That Heaven might find
A place in their hearts
[Verse 3]
'Cause Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine forever
Oh, in my heart
[Verse 4]
We've got to walk on
Walk on through temptation
'Cause His love and His wisdom
Will be our helpin' hand
[Verse 5]
And I know the truth
And His words will be our salvation
Lift up our hearts
To be thankful and glad
[Verse 6]
That Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine
Deep down in my soul
[Verse 7]
Jesus is love, oh yes, He is
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine, He's mine, mine,  He's mine, all mine
Forever, oh, in my heart, help me
Heart, heart
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 8]
(Deep in 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)
[Verse 9]
Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah) Whoo, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 10]
I wanna follow Your star
Wherever it leads me
And I don't mind, Lord
I hope you don't mind
[Verse 11]
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
(And if you ask) I'll show
(Love is the word) Forever, ever and ever
[Verse 12]
Who can bring you love (Jesus)
Who can bring you joy (Jesus)
Who can turn your life around (Jesus)
[Verse 13]
Ooh, yeah, ooh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
[Verse 14]
Who will pick you up (Jesus)
Ooh, when you fall (Jesus)
Who'll stand beside you (Jesus)
Who will love us all
[Verse 15]
Hey, hey, Jesus (Yeah, yeah)
Jesus (Yeah, yeah)
Oh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 16]
One thing I wanna say
Who can heal your body (Jesus)
Who can make you strong (Jesus)
Who can help you to hold out (Jesus)
A little while longer
[Verse 17]
Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Jesus loves you, Jesus wants you (Yeah, yeah)
If you call Him, He will answer
[Verse 18]
(Jesus)
Call him in the mornin' (Jesus)
Call him in the evenin' (Jesus)
Call him in the midnight hour
[Verse 19]
Hey, hey (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, y'all say it
Jesus is love
