It Was Love

It was love that embraced me,
The love of God,
the meaning of compassion
in the face of another's suffering.
My soul was found worthy of trust.
How great is Your care for me, God.
How great is Your care for me, God.
How great is Your care for me, God.
And time has passed, and here I stand
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
to the risen Christ.
So the Father ordained
I was blessed; glory to You, Lord.
I was healed, I was set free
in the name of Jesus,
for the glory of God the Father.
The life He gave me—and here I stand;
God, I will remember forever.
Glory to You, Lord.
Now and forever,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
to the risen Christ.
