Do you ever wake up with a song in your heart? I do, and the other morning, I woke up singing the chorus of “Jesus Built This Church on Love”
Jesus built this church on love, on love, that’s what its all about.
Trying to get everybody saved, not to keep anybody out;
The door’s wide open and just as big as the Fathers heart above,
I’m glad He said, “Whosoever will,” Jesus built this church on love!– Words and Music by Joel Hemphill © Copyright 1986 Bridge Building,
