Words by John E. Walvoord
Music by Don Wyrtzen
[Verse 1]
Love was when God became a man,
Locked in time and space
Without rank or place.
Love was God Born of Jewish kin,
Just a carpenter
With some fishermen.
Love was when
Jesus walked in history
Lovingly He brought
A new life thatâs free;
Love was God - nailed to bleed and die
To reach and love one such as I
[Verse 2]
Love was when God became a man,
Down where I could see
Love that reached to me.
Love was God dying for my sin
And so trapped was I
My whole world caved in.
Love was when
Jesus rose to walk with me.
Lovingly He brought
A new life thatâs free;
Love was God â only He would try
To reach and love one such as I.
