Lyrics
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON; WHO CAME TO PLEASE THE FATHER, AND DO WHAT MUST BE DONE. HE SUFFERED ON THE CROSS, UNTIL HE SAW IT THROUGH, AND SALVATION WAS COMPLETE, COMPLETE FOR ME AND YOU. (CHORUS)IT WASN'T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM THERE, IT WAS THE LOVE; IT EWASN'T THE WHIP THAT LAID HIME BARE, IT WAS THE LOVE. NO ONE FORCED HIM TO THE TREE, HE CLIMBED IT WILLINGLY; IT WEASN'T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM THERE, IT WAS THE LOVE. (V.2)GOD HAS A MASTER PLAN, AND HE GAVE US THE KEY; HE SAID PICK UP YOUR CROSS, LEAVE AND FOLLOW ME; BRING THE GOSPEL TO ALL NATIONS, DISCIPLE EVERY ONE, AND I'LL RETURN AGAIN, WHEN YOUR WORK IS DONE. (CHO)IT WASN'T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM THERE, IT WAS THE LOVE; IT WASN'T THE WHIP THAT LAID HIM BARE, IT WAS THE LOVE. NO ONE FORCED HIM TO THE TREE, HE CLIMBED IT JOYFULLY; THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM WAS YOU AND ME, WE WERE THE LOVED. IT WASN'T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM THERE, IT WAS THE LOVE.
