This is Love

Verse 1 What is love? I looked toward the cross, And there I saw the answer— A Savior giving all. Not because I first loved You, Not because I earned Your heart, While I was still a sinner, Jesus, You loved me from the start. You didn't love me from a distance, You came and carried all my shame. You gave Your only Son to save me, And called me by Your name. Pre-Chorus Now I know what love is, I've seen it in Your Son. Love came down and found me; Love said, “It is done.” Chorus This is love— Patient and kind, Never giving up on me, Never leaving me behind. This is love— Merciful and true, Not that I first loved You, God, But that You first loved me. This is love— Jesus on the cross, Giving everything To rescue what was lost. No height, no depth, No power above Can separate me from You. God, You are love. You are love. You are love. Verse 2 Your love is never jealous, Never proud or seeking self. It doesn't celebrate unrighteousness; It rejoices in the truth. Your love bears and believes, It hopes and perseveres. Through every changing season, Your perfect love drives out my fear. When I stumble, You are faithful; When I'm weak, Your arms remain. Your love isn't here today And somehow gone tomorrow. You loved me before I knew You, And taught my heart to love. Every love that's pure and holy Finds its source in You above. Chorus This is love— Patient and kind, Never giving up on me, Never leaving me behind. This is love— Merciful and true, Not that I first loved You, God, But that You first loved me. This is love— Jesus on the cross, Giving everything To rescue what was lost. No height, no depth, No power above Can separate me from You. God, You are love. You are love. You are love. Bridge — What Is the Love of God? Your love is patient. Your love is kind. Your love rejoices Whenever truth shines. Your love bears all things. Your love believes. Your love keeps hoping. Your love perseveres. Your love is sacrificial. Your love gives everything. Greater love has no one Than to lay down their life for a friend. Your love is everlasting. Your love casts out fear. Your love reaches the broken And draws the wandering near. Your love has width. Your love has length. Your love has depth. Your love has height. And though I spend forever searching, I'll never find its end. Worship Breakdown How wide is Your love? I cannot measure it. How deep is Your love? I cannot reach its end. How high is Your love? Higher than my understanding. How long is Your love? From everlasting to everlasting. Jesus, when I look at You, I see the Father's heart. When I look toward Calvary, I see how loved we are. You didn't merely tell me, You showed me. You didn't merely promise, You came for me. You didn't wait until I deserved You— You loved me first. Oh Jesus… You loved me first. Final Chorus This is love— The Father gave His Son. This is love— The victory has been won. This is love— Grace reaching down to me. This is love— Jesus setting captives free. Nothing in life, Nothing in death, Nothing today Or anything ahead, No height, no depth, No created thing Can separate us from Your love. So let my whole life answer The love You've poured on me: I will love You, Jesus, Because You first loved me. Outro God is love… God is love… Patient and kind, Faithful and true, Merciful Father, There is none like You. And if I ever wonder What perfect love looks like, I'll look again to Jesus. I'll look again to the cross. Because this is love… You loved us first. You loved us first… You loved us first… And Your love never fails. #love #viral #gospel #gospelmusic
