It was love that sent the Savior on that first Christmas day
The king born in a manger His bed was made of hay
Lowly shepherds from the hillside heard the message angels sang
It was love precious love for me
It was love precious love for a world steeped in sin
It was love precious love for me
Jesus sacrificed his all on Calvary's tree
It was love precious love for me
It was love that caused the Savior to walk this world below
It was love that reached a hand out to those who suffered so
Though mocked for His miracles He taught that all could know
It was love precious love for me
It was love that led the Savior through dark Gethsemane
To the halls of judgement up the hill to Calvary
I bow in sweet submission for He took my place that day
It was love precious love for me
It was love precious love for a world steeped in sin
It was love precious love for me
Jesus sacrificed his all on Calvary's tree
It was love precious love for me
