The Oak Ridge Boys - If Not for the Love of Christ

      
 
                 C                     F    
 Looking back over the years that I've known
 
 C                          G7   
 If I had made this journey alone
 
 C                               F           
 I'd be searching for meaning so empty inside
 
    C           G7      C     
 If not for the love of Christ
 
                      F            
 I could pretend that I'm satisfied
 
 C                                      G7  
 Make you believe that I'm enjoying the ride
 
 C                              F            
 But the smile on my face would be a disguise
 
    C           G7      C     
 If not for the love of Christ
 
     G7                    C             
 The love of Christ oh the love of Christ
 
 D7                   G7           
 No finer treasure no greater pride
 
 C               F             
 I can't imagine living my life
 
    C           G7      C     
 If not for the love of Christ
 
                   F              
 No mercy to cover all my mistakes
 
 C                                      G7  
 There'd be no peace through my darkest days
 
     C                     F           
 And no hope that I'd ever see paradise
 
    C           G7      C     
 If not for the love of Christ
 
     G7                    C             
 The love of Christ oh the love of Christ
 
 D7                   G7           
 No finer treasure no greater pride
 
 C               F             
 I can't imagine living my life
 
    C           G7      C     
 If not for the love of Christ
