"I'ts All Because of Love"

God found fault in mankind
And knew the time had come;
To make an atonement for our sin
He sent His only Son.

God, in His humility,
Gave to us His child;
The world, however, expected a King
Not a Babe so meek and mild!

The Father named Him Jesus,
He was the Son of Man.
They called Him King of Kings
Who is the Great I Am!

He was known as a Carpenter
And with humbleness and grace,
Pursued His Father's Plan
To save the human race!

His time on Earth was limited.
There was so much to tell;
Through miracles and parables
He taught the people well.

But there were unbelievers.
God's Truth was denied.
A decision was made that Christ the Lord
Would be brutally crucified!

Trudging His way to Golgotha
He was tortured, mocked and scorned.
Blood flowed down the Savior's face
Because of a crown of thorns!

Nails pierced His ravaged flesh
And many felt such loss.
For God had sent His only Son
To be slain upon a cross!

Jesus said, "It is finished!"
And died one sorrowful day.
But death had no sting and victory was won.
He rose and the stone rolled away!

God's mission was accomplished.
Please know that it is true;
Our history, the present, and what's to come
Is a gift from God to you!

No event has been more powerful,
On Earth or Heaven above;
For He was, and is, and is to come,
And It's All Because of Love.
