Anyone know where to find this song?

[helper]

A numbers of years ago (like 5yrs or so) I heard a Christian song on the radio that had a really catchy tune and really great words. I've been trying to find it ever since, but haven't been able to based on my recall of the words. I know the melody and would be able to instantly know it when I hear it, but all of the verses are fuzzy because I only heard it once.

It was sung by a few people in harmony. Not quite a choir. Had somewhat of a country style feel and was upbeat. Very catchy, hence the reason I still remembered it. :)

The part of the chorus (I think) that I can recall went like:

"Some love money, some love [things?] -God pays more than both of them.

It pays to serve God, more than anything I know."

If anyone could help me find this song, I would be extremely grateful! 🙂

You might call the radio station you heard it on.

@NConly that would be an option, except I don't know what radio station it was.

Don't recognize it. Sorry.

Can you do a search on the lyrics?

Hmm still searching .. I don't think this is it "Love Love Love - The Mountain Goats" Part of the song says "some things you do for money some things you do for love"..  OLD song

In searching found 'Cochren & Co. - Money Can't Buy (Official Lyric Video)" Go take a listen.. I like it!

Possibles, maybe; google to see lyrics..

It Pays to Serve Jesus, Author: Eli G. Christy

1 It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart;
He’ll always be with us, if we do our part;
There’s naught in this wide world can pleasure afford,
There’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord.

Refrain:
I love Him far better than in days of yore,
I’ll serve Him more truly than ever before;
I’ll do as He bids me, whatever the cost,
I’ll be a true soldier — I’ll die at my post.

2 And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track,
I think of my Savior — my mind wanders back
To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary’s tree—
I hear a voice saying, I suffered for thee. [Refrain]

3 There’s a place that remembrance still brings back to me,
’Twas there I found pardon — ’twas Heaven to me;
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul,
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole. [Refrain]

4 How rich is the blessing the world cannot give,
I’m satisfied fully for Jesus to live;
Tho’ friends may forsake me, and trials arise,
I’m trusting in Jesus, His love never dies. [Refrain]

It Pays to Serve Jesus,  Frank C. Huston

The service of Jesus true pleasure affords,
In Him there is joy without an alloy;
’Tis Heaven to trust Him and rest on His words;
It pays to serve Jesus each day.

Refrain:
It pays to serve Jesus, it pays every day,
It pays every step of the way,
Though the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear,
You’ll be happy each step of the way.

It pays to serve Jesus whate’er may betide,
It pays to be true whate’er you may do;
’Tis riches of mercy in Him to abide;
It pays to serve Jesus each day.

Though sometimes the shadows may hang o’er the way,
And sorrows may come to beckon us home,
Our precious Redeemer each toil will repay;
It pays to serve Jesus each day.

Kindly let me know if you find the song 

I’m interested in it 

[helper]

Thank you everyone for your replies. I still haven't found the song, unfortunately.

The line "It pays to serve God, more than anything I know." is a common refrain in the song and I'm confident that is the exact wording, so any song that doesn't include it wouldn't be the right one.

[helper]

Thank you @TheBlade and @Sower for helping. Unfortunately, as I noted above, the lyrics that I know are in the song don't match.

It's kind of frustrating 😅 Must of been a recording by a really not-well-known group.

I was only able to find what our brother @Sower came up with above. I hope you can eventually find this song, my friend.
