The Greatest Love Story

Before salvation, in a far and distant land

Two rusty nails pierced two precious hands

There a man named Jesus, for silver was sold

On an old rugged cross, love's story was told

Oh, oh, what a story

"I love you" was written in blood

Rivers of mercy were flowing

Between two thieves was the Son

The ransom was paid for every man's soul

On an old rugged cross, the great love story was told

He cried, "It is finished," and the world heard the sound

Marking the beginning as His blood touched the ground

A master plan for living, on Mount Calvary engraved

Such expression of love is salvation today

Oh, oh, what a story

"I love you" was written in blood

Rivers of mercy were flowing

From the matchless fountain of love

The ransom was paid for every man's soul

On an old rugged cross, the great love story is told

Oh, the greatest love story is the old rugged cross
