He knew the price He had to pay
When He came down to earth
To die upon a cruel cross
He would fulfill His birth
God knew what it meant to love
So His best He did give
While Jesus walked on earth
He showed men how to live
He told them love means you forgive
It also means you forget
He showed to all His perfect love
He gave His best and yet
Some refused to love Him
Some refused to see
That God so loved the world
He let them nail Him to a tree
When you think of the word love
All you have to do
Is open up your Bible
Read how God loves you
For God so loved the world
His only Son He gave
To die upon a rugged cross
So that you might be saved.
