Josh Turner's song For The Love of God is a plea to live life with integrity and for the right reasons. The song talks about how some people will do anything for money, cheat, lie, steal and not even attend church on Sundays. Turner prays to God that he never becomes like these people, and that everything he does is for the love of God. He does not seek the praise of man and lives his life focused on doing the right thing. The song also touches on the dangers of reckless behavior, such as drinking and driving, and how it can lead to tragic consequences. Turner again asks God to help him stay away from such behavior, and to always live his life with the love of God at the forefront of his actions. Overall, the song encourages listeners to live with honesty, integrity, and for the right reasons. It is a reminder to focus on what truly matters in life and to strive for a purposeful and meaningful existence.
