God Is Love

You can’t grasp your mind around such a beautiful thing

Can’t comprehend what it means

God is Love, God is Love

You cannot understand such a statement as this

No greater love has the world ever known

Love l-o-v-e

Agape love

Wraps itself around the reason of why God does what he does

Loves even though

More than a deep affection, more than a noun

A verb

He lavishes it upon us even though we do not deserve

Something as humans we cannot do

Born into sin, messed up from the beginning

We focus all on ourselves

Tell me, would you give your son to die on a tree

For a world that doesn’t even care about you?

Mocked and beaten

A nail hammered through each hand, through his feet

A crown of thorns shoved on to his head

Put slashes on his body

Blood poured down his face, replacing his tears

A river of blood poured from his side

Laughed at him like it was just a game

The crazy thing is I took a front row seat

Don’t think I’m crazy, you were there with me

The whole time it should have been me nailed upon that cross

I was the criminal

Love kept Him there dangling, not sin

He is God, he could have stepped down and said no

But because he loves us he didn’t

Grace

A result of His love for us

Oh such sweet grace he lavishes on us

Forgives even though we do not deserve

Loves everyone from the murderer to the religious

Even though we say He doesn’t exist he still loves us

Even when we curse his name

Even though we push Him away He is still there

Even though we put his son on a cross

But wait we did not put him there, he chose to be

You breathing right now is a result of God’s love

God Almighty gave you life

I should be dead from when I tried to end my life

But the Lord of Lords chose to spare me

Because he loves me

Nine months spent forming you into his image

Molding you into something great through every trial

Oh how He loves us

Never fails

I look to the left and right and yet He is there

Loving me

God is love

God, omnipotent, designer, intimate, superior, loving, outrageous, vital, everything

God is love

He cannot not love you

Never will he not love you

You are the work of his hands, made in his image

He loved you before you were born

God is love
