My Lord came down on earth, a lowly birth
Son of God and Son of man, He healed the land;
But His mission was a tree, to die for me
And I know 'twas love that made Him go.

It was all part of the plan, to save lost man
So that we may live in Him, (all) free from sin
He paid the price that we eternally
His name will raise, we'll sing His praise!

Jesus Christ is Lord
Jesus Christ is Lord
Jesus Christ is Lord
And I know 'twas love that made Him go.

Oh it was love that made Him go to the tree
And it was love that made Him suffer there for me
He could have called ten thousand angels to set Him free
And I know 'twas love that made Him go.

Oh it was love that made Him go to the tree
And it was love that made Him suffer there for me
And it is love why He still calls us to be free
And I know 'twas love that made Him go.

Na na na na na na . . . . . . . . .
And I know 'twas love that made Him go.
