Misc Praise Songs – John Lucas - Love Is Kind (Guitar)

C        Am             F              C
How come love was simpler when I could barely stand?

C    Am             F                       C
Worrying was harder when I had to hold your hand

C             Am              F              C
‘Cause my two feet hadn’t yet learned how to walk

C          Am           F               C
And my own voice hadn’t yet come out to talk

C          Am       F          C
But I knew love because I knew you

C                        Am
And I believed that everything you told me

F              C
Would come out true

               Am           F       C
‘Cause love is patient, and love is kind

C      Am                      F                  C
Love delights in the truth and is all you need to find

C      Am            F           C
But as I grew older I learned to complicate

C          Am               F            C
Things you made so simple and I did some things I hate

C       Am                F         C
And I became so afraid of making mistakes

C               Am      F           C
‘Cause one hard fall is all that it takes

   C        Am           F                   C
To make you question the man you thought you’d be

C              Am                  F                 C
And I began to question the bright things you see in me

    C       Am           F       C
But love is patient, and love is kind

 C           Am             F        C
Love doesn’t keep a record of what’s behind

    C             Am             F         C
And I’ve heard my strength comes from your joy

C            Am                  F            C
Maybe that’s why I felt stronger when I was a boy

C            Am            F               C
Maybe I grew up too fast, or maybe I never did

C                Am
But I learned to bury and to chain

    F                  C
And from you I ran and hid

C                  Am
You know I want to finish strong

F                             C
But I’m having trouble at the start

C                  Am
And I’ve forgotten where to dig

   F                  C
To unearth my beating heart

    C       Am          F        C
But love is patient, and love is kind

C       Am               F                C
Love revives the heart and transforms the mind

G                                 F
  And you say, son, throw your delight on me

G                                       F
  And you’ll become the man you want to be

G                           F
     And my love will never fail you

G                           F
     And my love will never fail you

G                 F                C 
   And always remember.....love is kind

               Am           F       C
‘Cause love is patient, and love is kind

C      Am                      F                  C
Love delights in the truth and is all you need to find
