For God So Loved

Forever they were banished from their paradise God passed through Eden's garden gates alone But his compassion wrote the pages unfolding through the ages Of a love that remains the greatest ever known Oh-oh For God so loved, that He gave His only son To suffer agony, on a hill called Calvary Heaven's mercy reached my heart and bore my pain Hope was born through sacred blood, for God so loved Shouts of praise were heard throughout Jerusalem As Jesus humbly passed through Zion's gates Then the gloom of Calvary's sorrow dashed hopes of bright tomorrows When the heart of the loving Father turned away Oh-oh For God so loved, that He gave His only son To suffer agony, on a hill called Calvary Heaven's mercy reached my heart and bore my pain Hope was born through sacred blood, for God so loved When it seemed that all was over When they placed him in that grave But death's victory march was ended On that resurrection day For God so loved, that He gave His only son To suffer agony, on a hill called Calvary Heaven's mercy reached my heart and bore my pain Hope was born through sacred blood, for God so loved Hope was born through sacred blood, for God so loved
