Pure Love

The Father, The Son and The Holy Spiriteach is God and the three are one.
There has been love between them since before creation had begun.
God said let us make man in our likeness and let them rule the earth.
Love was in that likenessThen our hearts lost sight of pure love's worth.
Yet as high as the heavens are above, yet so much greater is God's love.
And greater is His wisdom too; He knows and wants what's best for you.

Pure love makes no compromise with anything evil, vile or base.
Only on the Saviour's terms can we receive His gift of grace.
Only those whose hearts He has healed will be in Heaven and see His face.
God would never let a stubborn sinner in to spoil the place.
Yet as high as the heavens are above, yet so much greater is God's love.
And greater is His wisdom too; He knows and wants what's best for you.

The serpant brought shame and sorrow to woman as she brought mankind to sin.
But God brought honor to woman when He clothed Himself in human skin.
Born of a virgin, not fathered by a man, The Holy Spirit perfectly conceived Him.
In order to redeem us, God our Saviour had to be our kin.
Yet as high as the heavens are above, yet so much greater is God's love.
And greater is His wisdom too; He knows and wants what's best for you.

God takes loving care of us, in ways none of us understands.
And greater love no man can have than to lay His life down for His friends.
A spirit could never pay the price for our sin because a spirit never dies.
But Jesus was tortured in our place and died as His body agonized.
Yet as high as the heavens are above, yet so much greater is God's love.
And greater is His wisdom too; He knows and wants what's best for you.
