We Will Love You




Our kids want to sing this next week at our youth service. I can't find any lyrics on the youth gathering website, and I have historically not had any luck getting Dave Scherer to answer emails about his lyrics.

So, that leaves me trying to pick out words over the distortion on this youtube video. I've listened to it several times, and this is the best transcription I can get. If anybody else wants to try to listen and fill in the missing words, or was there in person, or has heard him sing this somewhere other than a stadium full of 37,000 people (so you already know what the words are), or is a good personal friend of AGAPE*, please email me before next Sunday!

Jesus came a man in the midst of all our fear
and showed us that God's right here
Our sins are released
by God's grace
singing God's love all over the place

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

Justice rollin' down like a stream now
[misses? something] the oppressed go free
Justice [faced?]
by God's grace
singing God's love all over the place

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

Grace with jazz, God's love has music
Gotta beat, gotta listen to stay on key
Got drums and bass
songs of grace
singing God's love all over the place

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

To the people in the front
to the people in the back
to the people in the [class?]
to the people [????????]
[????????????????]
[????????????????]
to the people in the city
people in a small town
to the people on the right
to the people on the left
to the people, people that sorely get oppressed
to the people on the street
to the people in the pew
Jesus loved first so we will love you

Jesus Christ God's [????????????????]
[?????????????????]
Gotta hear God's word
Go and serve
Spread God's love all over this world

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

I too was hoping to find the words. We have a better audio copy but its not in my possession. Even so, you did a great job transcribing the lyrics... I'm going to see if I can't fill in the words..

You posted this a long time ago... but here are the lyrics:

Jesus came with love in the midst of all our fear
and showed us that God's right here
Our sins are erased
by God's grace
seeing God's love all over the place.

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

Justice rollin' down like a stream now
Righteousness is found all around
the oppressed go free
And justice faced
by God's grace
showing God's love all over the place

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

Praise with jazz, God's love has music and a beat.
Gotta listen to stay on key
Got drums and bass
songs of grace
singing God's love all over the place

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

To the people in the front
to the people in the back
to the people in the jazz
to the people in the rap
to the people that are up
to the people who are down
to the people in the city
people in a small town
to the people on the right
to the people on the left
to the people, people that’s hungry and oppressed
to the people on the street
to the people in the pew
Jesus loved first, so we will love you

Jazz music’s what your love symbolizes
Love to hear it when your Spirit improvises
Gotta listen to the rhythm that you gave
Cuz you made a special song on the day that we were made
Beauty from the plain. Artful expression.
Crucifixion is now resurrection.
We’re all in this song; try to follow along.
It’s a jazzy baptism when we call and respond.
Let’s go!

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

Jesus Justice Jazz is here
God is calling in our here.
You gotta hear God's word
Go and serve!
Spreading God's love all over this world

We will, we will love you
We will, we will love you

It goes stomp, stomp clap…
stomp, stomp clap…
All my people in the front. All my people in the back.
stomp, stomp clap… stomp, stomp clap…
We will love you no matter where you at!
stomp, stomp clap… stomp, stomp clap…
All my people in the front. All my people in the back.
stomp, stomp clap… stomp, stomp clap…
We will love you no matter where you at!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Say YEAH!!!

We will LOVE YOU!
