We Didn't Know What Love Was

"For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting." John 3:16


All the Way to Kingdom Come

We didn't know what love was 'til He came
And He gave love a face and He gave love a name
And He gave love away like the sky gives the rain and sun

We were looking for heroes, He came looking for the lost
We were searching for glory, and He showed us a cross
Now we know what love is 'cause He loves us
All the way to kingdom come (All the way)
All the way to kingdom come

Love is a miracle
It's a miracle if you can find it
And miracles are hard to come by these days (these days)
But the sweet Lord Jesus, He's a miracle man
He's got holes in His feet, in His side, in His hands
And if you ask for love, love pours through them
Like a ray of light, like a raging blaze

We didn't know what love was 'til He came
And He gave love a face and He gave love a name
And He gave love away like the sky gives the rain and sun

We were looking for heroes, He came looking for the lost
We were searching for glory, and He showed us a cross
Now we know what love is 'cause He loves us
All the way to kingdom come (All the way)
All the way to kingdom come

Life is a mystery
It's a mystery we're all living
This world is so fragile
And we're so frail, so frail

Yeah, with the sweet Lord Jesus, His mysterious heart
Keeps the life-blood pumping at the center of it all
If He let go of us, we'd all blow apart
But He holds on tight, His love don't fail

We didn't know what love was

We didn't know what love was 'til He came
And He gave love a face and He gave love a name
And He gave love away like the sky gives the rain and sun

We were looking for heroes, He came looking for the lost
We were searching for glory, and He showed us a cross
Now we know what love is 'cause He loves us
All the way to kingdom come (All the way)
All the way to kingdom come
All the way to kingdom come (All the way)
All the way to kingdom come (All the way)

I consider "Under Pressure" the perfect secular song. But I am a Christian, and more importantly I consider this the perfect Christian song. So much hope, joy, even deep theology all bound up together in Rich's awesome ability to put it all together and get straight to our heart. Thanks for the post, and Phil and the boys did such a great job of recording this. LIsten to everything Rich and Mark Heard ever did if you like being closer to God through Christian music.

It would have been nice to hear Rich sing this. But his friends did well.
