For God So Loved the World

By Matthew Kalliman
Isaiah 53; John 3:16; 12:38; The Four Gospels
Who could believe what the Lord had revealed?
       The Messiah would come with His glory concealed
And men didn’t know that when they killed that Man
       They slaughtered God’s Passover lamb


For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
       So the penalty of sin could be paid for everyone
For God so loved the world He delivered Jesus Christ
       To save us all from death, and give us life


Our mistakes and transgressions were all laid on Him
       He was wounded and bruised as an offering for sin
For we are like sheep who have all gone astray
       We have turned, every one, to his own way


But God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
       So the penalty of sin could be paid for everyone
For God so loved the world He delivered Jesus Christ
       To save us all from death, and give us life



He cried, “Oh, My Father, let this cup pass from Me
       But if I must drink it, then Thy will be done”
Then an angry mob came with swords and spears
       His disciples fled and His hour now had come

They marched Him down to a crowded courtroom
       The council gathered, and then He was tried
They found Him guilty, pronounced His sentence
       And brought Him to Pilate, that He be crucified

When Pilate scourged Him, the soldiers took Him
       And laid a crown of thorns on His head
They put a robe on His back, a staff in His hand
       And mocked Him, “Hail to the king,” they said 

They spat upon Him, and beat Him badly
       And led him off to be crucified
They nailed him up to a cross of wood
       And they left him there till he died 



Despised and rejected, acquainted with grief
       This man full of sorrows could find no relief
But He’ll be consoled for the work He performed
       When the children of God have been born 


For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
       So the penalty of sin could be paid for everyone
For God so loved the world He delivered Jesus Christ
       To save us all from death, and give us life
