[36] Love of the Lord
[Verse 1]
There was no one
who could have done it for Him.
There was no one
who could have taken His place for us.
Nobody could have had that much love
to have gone to the cross
as a ransom for our souls.
In deep providence,
our God had planned for it.
His Son was hung on the cross
to redeem us.
With the love of the Father
countless souls
from death have been set free.
[Refrain]
It was only by His love,
His obedient love
that the Lord sacrificed everything for me.
How could I with mere words
adequately express
this love of sacrifice He made for us?
[Verse 2]
Now I know the love
the Lord has for our souls.
On the cross
His love had such amazing power.
Each day's a victory bought by His love,
through the cross
is the way to our salvation.
