Db


[Verse 1]
       Db
Well, yesterday we drove all night to Pittsburgh
Db
Jamie laid her head down in the back
     Db
My little boys asleep beside their sister
                   Db
They're the best I have


[Verse 2]
Db
I brought an old recording of your father
Db
He was teaching men and women how to love
Db
He carried on about his sons and daughters
        Fm
Growing up


[Pre-Chorus]
       Gb
As we drove across Ohio
         Gb
At the dawning of the day
         Db
I could hear the tune of truth was in his voice
        Gb
And it felt just like I knew him
          Gb
Though I never saw his face
 Db
Maybe that's because I know his boys
                 Ab
Who live their lives


[Chorus]
         Gb     Db
For the love of God
        Gb       Db
In the name of Jesus
      Gb                Ab
The groom who gave his life
             Db
To love his bride

Db


[Verse 3]
   Db
I know you thought you'd never find a woman
   Db
I never thought I'd have to write this song
     Db
But here I am and there you are together
       Fm
After all


[Pre-Chorus]
     Gb
You felt like you were buried
      Gb
In a city underground
     Db
All broken bits and pieces of the past
        Gb
And somewhere she was searching
         Gb
On the surface of the mound
          Db
She was digging for a treasure that would last
                          Ab
Now she's giving you her heart


[Chorus]
         Gb     Db
For the love of God
        Gb       Db
In the name of Jesus
      Gb                Db
The groom who gave his life
             Gb
To love his bride
         Gb     Db
For the love of God
        Gb       Db
In the name of Jesus
      Gb                Ab
The groom who gave his life
             Db
To love his bride

Db


[Verse 4]
      Db
Now, love is not a feeling in your chest
        Db
It is bending down to wash another's feet
       Db
It is faithful when the sun is in the west
            Fm
And in the east


[Pre-Chorus]
        Gb
It can hurt you as it holds you
         Gb
In its overwhelming flood
      Db
Till only the unshakeable is left
       Gb
"This new command I give you," He said
 Gb
"Love as I have loved"
     Db
So brother, love her better than yourself
                   Ab
And give her your heart


[Chorus]
         Gb     Db
For the love of God
        Gb       Db
In the name of Jesus
      Gb                Db
The groom who gave his life
             Gb
To love his bride
         Gb     Db
For the love of God
        Gb       Db
In the name of Jesus
      Gb                Ab
The groom who gave his life
             Db
To love his bride
