God So Loved Us

Track Summary
Most of us know about the verse John 3:16, ‘God so loved the World that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life’, but many tend to stop there, not understanding the context in its entirety. When read on to verse 21, it is shown that there is a condition: those who believe in him will be saved, and those who don’t believe have already been judged.
The problem is, because of one man's disobedience, sin entered the world. God knew that we could not attain righteousness by our own strength because we are desperately wicked, and he knew that it would take a holy and perfect sacrifice to take away our sins. So because of his unrelenting love for us and to save us from our impending destruction, he intervened and sent his only begotten son Jesus to be that perfect sacrifice on our behalf. Now through this one man’s obedience we gain the gift of salvation, if only we believe and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour by the grace of God. (See Romans 5:12-21, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 2:9-18)

Verse 1
Kay.O: Do you realize the weight of what Christ has done for us? (Do you?)
What he shed on the cross, the blood which washed us from our sins (what amazing grace)
You all know how and what he did but do you know why?
(He died and he gave his very life) (oh yes I believe)
I believe if you truly comprehend then
You will understand, you will know

Chorus
Kay.O: Our sovereign God;
Loved us so much that he gave his only son to die
On the cross for our sins
That whosoever believes in Jesus Christ will not die
But have eternal life, that’s right!

Verse 2
Flare: Jesus came to save us
From the very sins that enslaved us
But so you see the grace of the Son
Listen to the context that it was done
Before the Saviour, we had the law
But the law couldn't save us, that's not what its for
I[t was] Given to show that on closer inspection
We had a real dire need for redemption
'Cause ever since Adam fell, we inherited a sinful nature, bad behaviour, disobedience, we fell out of favour
Out of God's presence, we needed a saviour
Then Jesus came, the Word turned flesh and this lamb was slain!
Holy and righteous, knew no sin
But in 2 Corinthians 5:21 its seen
He became the sin offering, for all those he has chosen
To be made right, so now we approach Him
"Abba father!" We can call;
Please keep me safe, don't let me fall
This message of love was written in blood
It pleased him to die for those that he love
'Cause only his blood could atone for our sins
So turn from your ways, put your faith in Him!

Chorus
Kay.O: Our sovereign God;
Loved us so much that he gave his only son to die
On the cross for our sins
That whosoever believes in Jesus Christ will not die
But have eternal life, that’s right!

Bridge
Kay.O: If we read on from john 3 16 we can see that there’s a condition (condition)
For those who believe in him will be saved and redeemed
And those who don’t believe have already been judged
From the beginning of time God set aside those who will be saved
Giving them the gift of life what a gracious God we serve

Chorus
Kay.O: Our sovereign God;
Loved us so much that he gave his only son to die
On the cross for our sins
That whosoever believes in Jesus Christ will not die
But have eternal life, that’s right!

Outro
Flare: Romans 10:9-10, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved."
Jesus came to the earth to die for you; don’t sleep on his grace, 'cause not everyone has the privilege to know him.

Chorus
Kay.O: Our sovereign God;
Loved us so much that he gave his only son to die
On the cross for our sins
That whosoever believes in Jesus Christ will not die
But have eternal life, that’s right!

Flare & Kay.O: God isn’t imperfect! All he has planned will come to pass (That’s right)
His word accomplishes all he set it to, and so will his blood! (That’s right)
