It was Love

(Not the nails in His hands)

By K.W.Hale

G
1) (It was the) power of God's word that made the rocks and trees and hills,

D
(And the) power of His word sustains them still;

C G
(And the) power of His love redeems us to His kingdom bright,

A D Am6 D7
(And on the) cross we were ever in His sight.

Chorus:
C G
(It was) love that drove the savior to the old rugged cross,

D
(Not the) will of evil, sinful man;

C G
(And it was) love that kept him up there to re-deem that which was

lost,

D G C G.
(Not the) nails in his feet or in his hands.

G
2) (There's no) limit to His love for us, He gave us everything;

D G
(He even) laid aside His lofty title of the King of Kings.

C G
He who knew no sin took the sins of everyone

A D Am6 D7
(upon Him-)self so we could say, “Praise God, my sins are gone!” (And...)

(Chorus) (Repeat and End)
