Love was when
1. Love was when God be-came a man
Locked in time and space without rank or place
Love was God born of Jewish kin
Just a carpenter with some fishermen
Love was when Jesus walked in history
Lovingly He brought a new life that’s free
Love was God nailed to bleed and die
To reach and love one such as I
2. Love was when God be-came a man
Down where I could see love that reached to me
Love was God dying for my sin
And so trapped was I my whole world caved in
Love was when Jesus rose to walk with me
Lovingly He brought a new life that’s free
Love was God only He would try
To reach and love one such as I
