This Is Love

It was You who reached down from Heaven

It was me You wanted to know here on earth

I am Your child, I am the apple of Your eye

Caught in Your gaze, caught by surprise

This is love

This is how it's meant to be

I am love

And this love has set me free

This is love

This is how it's meant to be

Not that I have loved You first

But that You have first loved me

Tell me why, You would pursue me

(Why, oh, why)

Tell me how, I could deserve all You give

I am amazed when You had seen this heart of mine

You picked up my cross, and laid down Your life

This is love

This is how it's meant to be

I am love

And this love has set me free

This is love

This is how it's meant to be

Not that I have loved You first

But that You have first loved me

Oh, Lord, we need You

Where there is love

There's hope enough

To make it through

You are love

(You are love, You are love, ooh...)

Oh, this is love

This is how it's meant to be

Not that I have loved You first

But that You have first loved me

This is love, yeah

This is how it's meant to be

I am love

And this love has set me free

This is love

Oh, this is how it's meant to be

Not that I have loved You first

But that You have first loved me

This is love
