It Was His Love


Scripture

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

John 3:16-17

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13


The Lyrics

God gave His Son, His perfect plan
Sent to redeem the soul of man
The guilt of all on Him was laid
The sacrifice of love was made

Oh wondrous love, how can it be
That He would die there for me?
It was my sin He chose to bear
It was His love that held Him there

Though scourged and torn, He bore the pain
While angels watched, the Lamb was slain
A single word He need but say
And they would bear Him safe away

Oh wondrous love, how can it be
That He would die there for me?
It was my sin He chose to bear
It was His love that held Him there

He gave His life to pardon me
He shed His blood on Calvary
It was my sin He chose to bear
It was His love that held Him there

Oh wondrous love, how can it be
That He would die there for me?
It was my sin He chose to bear
It was His love that held Him there

Oh wondrous love that held Him there
