Here is one of my favourite artists. Lionel Ritchie is an artist that has great talent in terms of his singing and playing. His unique style and diversity in songs makes him different from another artist.
Here is some information on Lionel Ritchie:
"Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. (born June 20, 1949) is an Academy Award and Grammy award-winning American singer, songwriter, record producer, and occasional actor, who has sold more than 100 million records."
"In 1980, the Commodores were voted "Favorite Soul Group" at the American Music Awards and won the Peoples Choice Award for "Best Song" with "Still". Surprisingly enough, the highly spiritual "Heroes", the Commodores' tenth LP, released the same year, was a poor seller in the U.K., at least compared to their previous albums, but went platinum in the United States. The singles "Old-Fashion Love" (R&B #8, Pop #20) and the title track "Heroes" (R&B #27, Pop #54) were obviously hits, but not big enough to end the malicious media speculations about the Commodores' heydays being over. The third single "Jesus Is Love" only made it to a disappointing R&B #34."

This song was created by the Commodores and it is in the Key of Ab and was composed by Lionel Ritchie.
Verse 1
Ab/AbCEb - Father
G/EbGFBb - Help your
**FB/FBbDb
**EBb.EbAbC
These two chords are a filler to get to the 6th chord which is to be played on children
FEb/EbGAbC - children
Eb/EbAbC - and don't let them
Db/CEbFAb - fall
C/BbEbAb - by the side
BbAb/AbCDbF - of the road
Eb/DbEbFAb
Gb/GbBbDbF - Je-
FEb/FAbCEb - -sus
Ab/EbGbBbDb - is
Db/CEbFAb - Love
Basically that is the whole song. The rest song you are just walking down the Ab scale. You can your own fillers and passing chords to make it sound tighter in your playing.
Lyrics To Jesus Is Love
Father
Help Your children
And don't let them fall
By the side of the road, mmm...mmm...
And teach them
To love one another
That Heaven might find
A place in their hearts
'Cause Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine forever
Oh, in my heart
We've got to walk on
Walk on through temptation
'Cause His love and His wisdom
Will be our helpin' hand
And I know the Truth
And His words will be our salvation
Lift up our hearts
To be thankful and glad
That Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine
Deep down in my soul
Jesus is love
Oh, yes, He is
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, all mine
Forever, oh, in my heart
Help me, heart, heart
Ooh...ooh...
