Verse 1:
F          G
Love was when God became a man,

Locked in time and space
    F      C7
Without rank or place.

Love was God Born of Jewish kin,
    C    C7
Just a carpenter
     F
With some fishermen.

Love was when
        Am   D7
Jesus walked in history

Lovingly He brought

A new life that’s free;
F            G
Love was God - nailed to bleed and die

To reach and love one such as I

Love that reached to me.

My whole world caved in.

To reach and love one such as I.
