It Was Love - Ambassadors
[Chorus] It was love-What made Him bleed and cling to a tree It was love-Unlike this world has ever seen before It was love-What made Him bleed and cling to a tree And get nailed to the form of a lower case "t" To all my listeners; you're on my "got to get with ya list" Scripture gives the run down, come now you've got to picture this The evolutionist would call this ridiculous Story of a love, a true love that got promiscuous The true lover was a King they called Elohim, Digt it, He was exquisite, always existed For designer clothes He sported shekinah robes The kind that glows, baggy, you know the kind that flows He was awesome majestic, flawless, perfect with All this you might ask what could be next His outcry zoomed throughout the counsel of the Triune Crank the volume, when God speaks it's a fly tune "Let Us make man in Our likeness and Our image" He sparked it, even before He started He was finished And since it's a fact that every kid needs a nursery Before He made man He made a universe-a world to be A playpen you know a place to chill, one to play in Fields to lay in, earth to rule, one to stay in He took dust in His hands made a man Breathed life into his frame, said, "Adam is your name" It was all fun and games, no pain and no strain, He named all the animals, they were pre-tamed Man and his God chillin' like jellow with Nothing to undermine the divine fellowship [Repeat Chorus] Curtain please, scene two, we see the surgery Adam de-ribbed, now Eve lives, we see with certainty God wanted the earth to be full so earth can see God and glory go together like thermometers and mercury Intertwined, Elohim was man's date But it's a thin line between love and hate And just like a person will be weary 'til rested I guess love will always be theory 'til tested, So check it, God put this tree off limits He can do that, the earth is the Lord's and all that's in it He meant it, He told Adam the truth about the one tree He said if you eat the fruit then you're saying you don't want me In other words you're saying, "Bye", I wouldn't lie 'Cause the day you eat from this tree you're surely gonna die Why in God's name couldn't Adam maintain No blame, if it was us we would have probably done the same thing Satan tricked Eve, Eve gave to Adam, Sin had them, death grabbed them, and on went the pattern The earth got cursed on the day they dissed Jehovah He said, "I told ya, now our relationship is over!" [Repeat Chorus] It really gets to me, it really is a mystery Why with foresight God even let us ruin history But the love story gets deper Holiness makes Him hide from sin but His love for men made Him a seeker My heart is getting weaker, it's burnin' me bad I earnestly ask why in eternity past Did the Godhead agree that they would let man leave Knowing the penalty-that they'd have to let man bleed? But this is just a case of the lowliest Questioning the infinite wisdom and the justice of the holiest God's omnipotent and sovereign-"Yes I know He is" And he's gracious and merciful-"The Bible told me this" Took a human frame, Jesus was His human name Doomed to hang on a cross casue we're His lost love Resurrected just to get with you, if you get your cue From Scriputre you can see he clearly pre-planned the switch-a-roo He'd always planned to become a man, die as a substitute lamb, Start a new fam of humans who can Take the Son's hand in reply to His proposal, "Will you marry Me?"-we say, "I do!" [Ending Chorus] Love-made Him bleed and cling to a tree It was love-unlike this world has ever seen before It was love-that made Him bleed and cling to a tree Nailed just for you and nailed just for me
