The angels stood in awe
At the sight they saw
The night you were betrayed
You could have saved Yourself
But you held back the heavens
And let them carry You away
You laid Your kingdom down
They handed You a crown of thorns
You were torn
God let Your will be done
It wasn't nails that held You to the cross
It was love
It was love
It was Your love
You took our place carried out guilt and shame
All for us
All for us
All for us
It wasn't nails that held You
It was love
It was Your love
It was Your love
To think You chose this cup
Knowing all that was to come
Oh the grace, that poured from You
Before Your final breath
Through Your tears you said
Forgive them, for they know not what they do
You looked up to the sky
Let out a final cry
It is done
hope has won
Lord let Your kingdom come
It wasn't nails that held You to the cross
It was love
It was love
It was Your love
You took our place carried out guilt and shame
All for us
All for us
All for us
It wasn't nails that held You
It was love
It was Your love
It was Your love
It was Your love
It was Your love
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
It was Your love
It was Your love
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
It was Your love
It was Your love
It wasn't nails that held You to the cross
It was love
It was love
It was Your love
You took our place carried out guilt and shame
All for us
All for us
All for us
It wasn't nails that held You
It was love
It was Your love
It was Your love
It was Your love
It was Your love
It was love
