Story behind the song
The people in a church I once went to inspired me to write this song. They seemed to live the message of this song.
Lyrics
The image of our King
Hanging, nailed against the cross
Is a lesson to us all
His pain and suffering –
A message of His mighty love
That lives in each of us
And like the river runs into the sea
We must take His love to those in need
CHORUS:
Let the love of Jesus overflow (Let love overflow)
Like the blood of Jesus long ago (Let love overflow)
Let the love of Jesus fill your soul
And overflow (Like the blood of Jesus, just let the love of Jesus)
The tomb could not contain
This awesome power of love
It was just too much
So Jesus rose again
To give us hope and give us peace
That we can be redeemed
And like the grave we can’t keep Jesus down
His spirit is alive and all around, yeah
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE:
There’s no time to lose
So let His spirit loose
On your neighbor, friend and foe
Just show His wondrous ways
And His amazing grace
Will take over, yeah
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Now, let the love of Jesus take control
[CHORUS]
CHORUS PART II:
Let the love of Jesus take control (Let love take control)
Let the love of Jesus make you whole (Let love make you whole)
Let the love of Jesus fill your soul
And overflow (Like the blood of Jesus, just let the love of Jesus overflow)
REFRAIN:
Let the love, just like the blood
Let the love, I said, just like the blood
Let the love of Jesus overflow (Let love overflow)
Whoa, whoa, let the love; like the blood
Let the love of Jesus … like the blood of Jesus …
Let the love of Jesus overflow
(Like the blood of Jesus; just let the love of Jesus overflow)
Let the love; I said, just like the blood
Let the love of Jesus overflow
