Some folks'll do anything for money
Cheat and lie and steal
Won't even take the time to go to church on Sunday
But they got plenty of time to make a deal

Please forgive me if I ever act like that
That ain't the way I wanna be
I pray every night that everything I do
Before the love of God
For the love of God is why I try so hard
I ain't trying to win the praise of man,
I live for the love of God

Some people only want to have a good time
Drinkin' and carryin' on
They get behind the wheel and the next thing you know,
Somebody's child is gone

Please forgive me if I ever act like that
That ain't the way I wanna be
I pray every night that everything I do
Before the love of God
For the love of God is why I try so hard
I ain't trying to win the praise of man,
I live for the love of God

For the love of God is why I try so hard
I ain't trying to win the praise of man,
I live for the love of God
I ain't trying to win the praise of man,
I live for the love of God
