This is a personal letter to you whoever you are. If you are reading it, it is for you. The Bible teaches us all the things that are in this note. They are just written into this song. The Bible says, that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. God deals with each one of us personally, When you know him as your Savior it is a personal relationship. That is why I used the word you. That personal relationship with God really begins when you believe in, his love for you. Can you believe in his forgiveness for you? When you believe that what he did at the cross was for you and that He arose from the dead, He will make you alive in Him. He conquered death, He conquered the curse of our sin. He definitely loves us so.
This is to prove to you this can be sung and help those playing an instrument by ear.
