Lyrics It Was Love - Abandon

It Was Love

The angel stood in awe
At the sight they saw
The night You were betrayed
You could have saved yourself
But you held back the heavens
And let them carry You away
You laid Your kingdom down, they handed you a crown Of thorns You were torn,
but cried let Your will be done
It wasn’t nails that held You to the cross It was love, it was love,
it was Your love You took our place, carried our guilt and shame All for us,
all for us, all for us It wasn’t nails that held You, it was love
To think You chose this cup
Knowing all that was to come
Oh the grace that poured from You
Before Your final breath
Through Your tears You said
«Forgive them, for they know not what they do.»
You looked up to the sky
Let out a final cry
It is done!
Hope has won!
Lord, let Your kingdom come!
