It Was Love Lyrics

Abandon It Was Love

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You laid Your kingdom down
They handed you a crown
Of thorns, You were torn
But cried let Your will be done
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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."

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You looked up to the sky
Let out a final cry
It is done!
Hope has won!
Lord, let Your kingdom come!

[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
