Love was when God became a Man, Locked in time and space, without rank or place; 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 met me, now it's real; Lovingly He came, I can feel He's real! Love was God, only He would try To reach and love one such as I.
