Love Is The Reason

[00:05.98] Mama dragged us to church every Sunday
[00:11.30] And heaven knows I didn't wanna go
[00:16.88] The preacher talked too long, and I didn't like those songs
[00:22.58] That hour and 15 went by way too slow
[00:28.25] When I asked my mother, "Why do we bother?"
[00:34.05] And she smiled and said from deep down in her soul
[00:40.19] Love is the reason, love is the reason
[00:45.54] Oh, love is the reason that I go
[00:51.01] Standing up for what I believe in
[00:54.29] That's where my heart is leading
[00:56.95] And love is the reason that I go
[01:01.89]
[01:05.72] Time went by and we got a little older
[01:11.02] My brother signed up to wear that army green
[01:17.14] Fighting the good fight and leaving home behind
[01:22.58] A-giving everything to be all he could be
[01:28.24] And I asked my brother, "Why do you bother?"
[01:34.18] He stood up tall and said these words to me
[01:39.94] Love is the reason, love is the reason
[01:45.64] Yeah, love is the reason that I go
[01:50.99] I'm gonna fight for what I believe in
[01:54.09] That's where my heart is leading
[01:56.95] And love is the reason that I go
[02:03.84] Love is strong and love is kind
[02:06.51] Love will go the extra mile
[02:09.44] It ain't scared to pay the price
[02:12.36] Love will always sacrifice
[02:20.16] Walking up the hill that stood before Him
[02:25.85] Carrying that cross to bear our shame
[02:31.40] If I could ask Him why He was laying down His life
[02:37.06] I know that I would hear my Jesus say
[02:43.00] Love is the reason, love is the reason
[02:48.59] Yeah, love is the reason that I go
[02:53.66] I'll give my life for what I believe in
[02:57.18] That's where my heart is leading
[03:00.07] And love is the reason that I go
[03:05.42] Oh, love is the reason that I go
[03:17.33]
