It Was Love, True Love
Why does The rainbow;
rejoice after a rain?
Why does the bluebird ;
sing a cheerful refrain?
Gifts from our Father;
In heaven above.
All beautiful ways;
To show man His love.
Why do the eagles;
Fly high in the sky?
Above the great storm;
With courage they fly.
Gifts from our Father;
Who calms all our fears.
All wonderful ways;
To show man He cares.
Why do the mountains;
Speak peace to the soul?
Why does the ocean;
Waves continually roll?
Gifts from our Father;
They constantly shine.
All given in love;
To all of mankind.
But greater than these;
The gift of great love.
When God gave His Son;
His perfect white dove.
Why did Jesus give;
His life for the lost?
Why was He willing;
To suffer the cost?
It was love, true love;
Provided that day.
God's marvelous love;
Provided the way.
God gave up His Son;
To die in despair.
The ultimate gift;
Our God did not spare.
It was love, true love;
A gift with a seal.
That came from heaven;
Amazing and real.
