[Verse 1]
F                   G
Love was when God became a man,
          C             C7
Locked in time and space
        F           C7
Without rank or place.
F                    G
Love was God Born of Jewish kin,
       C       C7
Just a carpenter
          F
With some fishermen.
Bb           C
Love was when
                Am     D7
Jesus walked in history
Gm                C7
Lovingly He brought
      F               Gm  C7
A new life that’s free;
F                        G
Love was God - nailed to bleed and die
   C         Gm       C7      F
To reach and love one such as I
[Verse 2]
F                   G
Love was when God became a man,
           C          C7
Down where I could see
          F            C7
Love that reached to me.
F                  G
Love was God dying for my sin
       C            C7
And so trapped was I
         F
My whole world caved in.
Bb           C
Love was when
              Am          D7
Jesus rose to walk with me.
Gm                 C7
Lovingly He brought
      F               Gm  C7
A new life that’s free;
F                   G
Love was God – only He would try
   C         Gm       C7      F
To reach and love one such as I.
