Love was the Reason

Love was the reason God sent His son.

Love became a sacrifice to cleanse us from all wrong.

Love was the power that gave our Lord the strength,

When from His bitter cup the time came to drink.

(Chorus)

Nails didn’t hold Him

To that old rugged tree.

Love held Him there

While He died for you and me.

Twelve legions of angels

Waited for His call,

But He hung there and died

With love He conquered all.

Jesus was buried in Joseph’s tomb was laid.

But love saw no corruption and rose the third day.

And love would not suffer us to be all alone,

So love became a comforter a seal of God’s own.
