Contents 1 Content 2 Chart performance 3 References 4 External links Content The song showcases three examples of servitude and gratitude, and the receiver -- a man devoted to his wife, a grateful son, and a Christian deeply committed to serving God -- seeking a way to repay the giver. Each one responds with the song 's title line, the lesson being that love is worth more than the riches, comforts and treasures of the world. The first verse ( about the married couple ) was sung by Davis, the second verse ( about the mother - son relationship ) by Tucker, and the final verse ( the Christian ) by Overstreet.
