Love Was When

Love was when God became a Man,
Locked in time and space, without rank or race;
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 rose to walk with me
Lovingly He brought a new life that’s free
Love was God only He would try
To reach and love one such as I.
