This song was performed for the first time on October 31, 2010 @ East Schuyler Methodist Church.
Story behind the song
I wrote this song after a wonderful sermon that Pastor Patrick gave at my church. It tells a story of what Love means to me.
Lyrics
Always…Love
By Larry Wayne Houghton
(Verse 1-Em,G,D,Am,Em,G,D,C,Em,G,D,Am,C,G,D)
If I was a rich man
With my pockets full of gold
I’d give it all to help the lost
Find their way home
Money isn’t everything
All that counts is in your heart
‘Cause Love
Really defines who we are
(Pre-Chorus-C,G,D,C,D,C,G,D,C,D,C,G,D,C,G,D,C)
It’s better to give than receive…always
Practice what you preach…always
Seek the good in the bad
And be grateful for what you have…always
(Verse 2-Em,G,D,Am,Em,G,D,C,Em,G,D,Am,C,G,D)
Patience is a virtue
One of the hardest lessons learnt
But through the grace of God
He gave us Jesus to discern
That Love will always save us
Love forgives…Love doesn’t brag
So reach down in our hearts
And give all we have
(Pre-Chorus-C,G,D,C,D,C,G,D,C,D,C,G,D,C,G,D,C)
It’s better to give than receive…always
Practice what you preach…always
Seek the good in the bad
And be grateful for what you have…always
(Bridge-Am,C,G,D,Am,C,D,D x2)
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is trusting
Without a question why
Love is what we need to spread right now
Love is faithful
Love won’t stray
Love is here
And it’s here to stay
So open up your heart and let it out…….’Cause I believe that
(Chorus-G,D,Am,C x3 then G,D,C)
Always…Love will find a way
Always…Love will guide the way
Always…Love will save the day
Al-l-l-lways
(Final Verse-Em,G,D,Am,Em)
Love made me a rich man
Now my heart is filled with gold
