Love was when God became a man

Down where I could see 

Love that reached to me.

Love was Christ 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 bought a new life that's free.

Love was Christ, only He would try

To reach and love one such as I.
