Mac Powell - Love Is The Reason lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama dragged us to church every Sunday And Heaven knows I didn't want to go The preacher talked too long and I didn't like those songs That hour and fifteen went by way too slow [Pre-Chorus] When I asked my mother, "Why do we bother?" She smiled and said from deep down in her soul [Chorus] Love is the reason, love is the reason Oh, love is the reason that I go Standing up for what I believe in That's where my heart is leading And love is the reason that I go [Verse 2] Time went by and we got a littlе older My brother signed up to wеar that army green Fighting the good fight and leaving home behind Giving everything to be all he could be [Pre-Chorus] And I asked my brother, "Why do you bother?" He stood up tall and said these words to me [Chorus] Love is the reason, love is the reason Yeah, love is the reason that I go I'm gonna fight for what I believe in That's where my heart is leading And love is the reason that I go [Bridge] Love is strong and love is kind Love will go the extra mile It ain't scared to pay the price Love will always sacrifice [Verse 3] Walking up the hill that stood before Him Carrying that cross to bear our shame If I could ask Him why He was laying down His life I know that I would hear my Jesus say [Chorus] Love is the reason, love is the reason Yeah, love is the reason that I go I'll give my life for what I believe in That's where my heart is leading And love is the reason that I go Oh, love is the reason that I go
