It Was Love

The angle stood in awe At the sight they saw The night you were betrayed You could have saved yourself But You held back the Heavens And let them carry You away You laid Your kingdom down, they handed You a crown of Thorns You were torn But cried let Your will be done It wasn't nails that held You to the cross, it was love, it was love, it was Your love You took our place carried our guilt and shame All for us, all for us, all for us. It wasn't nails that held you, it was love. To think You chose this cup Knowing all that was to come Oh the grace that poured from You Before Your final breath, through Your tears You said "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." You looked up to the sky, let out a final cry It is done! Hope has won! Lord let Your kingdom come! It wasn't nails that held You to the cross, it was love, it was love, it was Your love You took our place carried our guilt and shame All for us, all for us, all for us. It wasn't nails that held you, it was love.
