1. Do you ever just get wond'rin' 'bout the way things are today?
So many on board the gospel ship trying to row it a different way.
If we'd all pull together like a family me and you
We'd come a lot closer to doin' what the Lord called us to do.

CHORUS:

Jesus built this church on love, on love. That's what it's all about.
Tryin' to get everybody saved, not to keep anybody out.
The door's wide open and just as big as the Father's heart above.
Glad He said, "Whosoever will." Jesus built this church on love.

2. Now when the shepherd found the lost sheep wand'ring from the fold,
In loving arms he held it, he did not blame or scold.
Now we could learn a lesson that would made our efforts blessed.
Our methods and our message must be filled with tenderness.

CHORUS:

Jesus built this church on love, on love. That's what it's all about.
Tryin' to get everybody saved, not to keep anybody out.
The door's wide open and just as big as the Father's heart above.
Glad He said, "Whosoever will." Jesus built this church on love.
Tag: Glad He said, "Whosoever will." Jesus built this church on love.
