What love is this?
That would make God sacrifice His only Son
For my sins and your sins, there's no end
To the love it took to see His blood run down
That Jesus cried out from the cross as He died
Forgive them Father for they know not what they do
Chorus:
'Cause if I had to give the life of my child to save the world
Could I do it? I don't know.. would I do it?
And if you had to lay down the life of your child to save the world
Could you do it? Ask yourself, would you do it?
What love is this? And am I worthy of it?
You see it takes a mighty love to sacrifice Your only Son
For the sins of all of us
What love is this? It's the kind of love that man can't give
Tell me, would you lay down your child's life?
Would you really pay that price?
Could you make that sacrifice?
Cause if I had to give the life of my child to save the world
Could you do it? Ask yourself.. would you do it?
Amazing grace.. Your grace how sweet the sound
And You're still blessing today, Lord
I was lost but now Im found, I just want to thank You Lord
God in heaven, I pray
I live up to the sacrifice You made
God in heaven, on my knees I pray
That I deserve Your mighty love this way
Do I love Him (yes), Do I need Him (yes)
Is He worthy (yes)
He died for me (yes, yes, yes), cried out for me (yes)
He so loved me (yes)
Shall we praise Him (yes, yes, yes), give Him glory (yes)
Hes the Savior (yes Lord)
I just need a closer walk with thee Lord...
WHAT LOVE IS THIS
It's a point of pride that we write in multiple genres with intelligent, contemporary lyrics and topics. With Gospel music it's easy to just tug the heart strings of the faithful and repeat the usual rehashed concepts. At DRM, we try to write thought-provoking lyrics that appeal to the listener regardless of the walk or degree of faith of the individual.
"What Love Is This" is one of those songs as is "Miracle". We are in the lab working up a few new gospel songs. Check back for soon for postings of "God Loves Me" and "I Still Believe" .
