For the Love of God
Some phrases can have completely different meaning depending on how they are said. This is one such phrase.
Too many people dishonor God’s name
Curse it, abuse it, take it in vain
Two thousand years ago an innocent man
Was sentenced to death as part of God’s plan
Enduring the jeers and the cat of 9 tails
The thorns and the scorn the cross and the nails
He knew what he faced, he could have refused
He did it for us so that we can now choose
Our sins are forgiven, he wiped clean the slate
A gift of pure love in a world filled with hate
The tomb is empty, the stone rolled away
He conquered the grave on that glorious day
He’s now in Heaven, he’s prepared us a place
Because of God’s love, because of God’s Grace
The reason is clear, the mystery is solved
Christ died for our sins for the love of God
