love was when god

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 that's free,

Love was God nailed to bleed and die

To reach and love one such as I.




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 met me, now it's real;

Lovingly He came, I can feel He's real!

Love was God, only He would try

To reach and love one such as I.
