Lyrics

He is Love

In this day and age you know that we are so confused
We don’t know what love is, oh but we know how to use
We think it’s all about ourselves and our own happiness
And we wonder what went wrong when we find our lives a mess

For love is willing to pay the price
Love is laying down your life
Love is giving up your rights
Look at Jesus, that is love
Look at Jesus, He is love

The Lord says love is patient and that true love is kind
It depends not on appearances, for to the flesh it’s blind
Love does not envy but it will protect and trust
For we’re to love one another as the Father first loved us

For love is willing to pay the price
Love is laying down your life
Love is long days and sleepless nights
Look at Jesus, that is love
Look at Jesus, He is love

True love is not boastful and it is not proud or rude
And it is more necessary than our daily food
We’re called to love with actions and not merely with our words
For we must live what we believe, so that the truth is heard

For love is willing to pay the price
Love is laying down your life
Love is often pain and sacrifice
Look at Jesus, that is love
Look at Jesus, He is love

Love rejoices in the truth and in evil finds no delight
It is not easily angered and it longs to do what’s right
Love is not self-seeking and it keeps no record of wrongs
It’s rarely found on the T.V. or in today’s love songs

For love is willing to pay the price
Love is laying down your life
Love is giving up your rights
Look at Jesus, that is love
Look at Jesus, He is love
