LOVE SONGS in CHURCH

As we have studied through Proverbs 31 on Sunday mornings here at Grace Church, we have said that this chapter is written more for the sake of young men than it is for young women. It is a wonderful description of the type of woman that a godly man should prayerfully seek God for in marriage. In this day when marriages are dying as quick inside the church as they are outside the church, it is one of my greatest desires to lift the sanctity of marriage up high in the eyes of the children, young people and young adults who attend Grace Church. The amazing love relationship that can exist between a husband and a wife is second in greatness only to the relationship that exists between Christ and the church. That is why I believe in love songs…yes, even in church. This past Sunday we concluded the message with Jason Dearborn singing a love song written by Bryan Adams to his lovely wife, Christi. When taken in the context of marriage, I think the words of this song are more than fitting for church. Would to God that every married person in our church would see their marriage as something worth fighting for! Next Sunday we will conclude our Wonder Women series with Ben Fold’s song, The Luckiest.

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You

Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

I would fight for you - I'd fly for you

Walk the wire for you - yeah I'd die for you

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you
