It Was Love Lyrics

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

V.1
To all my listeners
You're on my gots to get wit ya list
Scripture gives the rundown
Come now you've got to picture this
An evolutionist would call this ridiculous
Story of a love, a true love that got promiscuous
The true lover was a king they called Elohim
Dig it, He was exquisite, always existed
For designer clothes
He sported Shekinah robes
The kind that glows, baggy
You know the kind that flows (Isaiah 6:1)
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 chilling like jello
With nothing to undermine the divine fellowship
V.2
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 till rested
I guess love will always be theory till 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
Coz 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
On went the pattern
The earth got cursed on the day they dissed Jehovah
He said, I told ya
Now our relationship is over
V.3
It really gets to me
It really is a mystery
Why with foresight, God even let us ruin history?
But the love story gets deeper
Holiness makes Him hide from sin
But His Love for men made Him a seeker
My heart is getting weaker
It's burning 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 coz we're His lost love
Resurrected just to get with you
If you catch a cue from Scripture
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 and reply to
His proposal
Will you marry Me?
We say, I do
