New Song “God So Loved”
I’ve let myself get too busy over the last few months and haven’t been doing any song writing so here is a new song I wrote today based mostly on the well known verse John 3:16. I’ll try to upload a video of me playing sometime this week (update: watch live video here). As it is Easter week I was reading and reflecting on the amazing gift of salvation and God’s grace. I realized that I sometimes overlook this verse just because it has become so familiar since childhood, but I wanted to reawaken the wonder and thankfulness for the message it contains. The other verses used are listed at the bottom of the lyrics.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
—John 3:16
We should never get tired of the message of the Gospel or too complacent about the amazing words found even in a verse many of us have known by heart since childhood! It’s so good to know that even in the midst of our ugliness and sin, God still loves us and chose to send his son to die in our place. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! Happy Easter everyone!

Lyrics
God So Loved
For God so loved, God so loved, God so loved
He loved us so much
(repeat)
Even while we were still wallowing
Wallowing in our sin
He didn’t wait for us to clean up our act
Before His love came in
Just believe in your heart
And confess with your mouth
Jesus Christ is Lord
And you will find love and life
Love and life forevermore
For God so loved, God so loved, God so loved
He loved us so much
(repeat)
He sent His son to die for you and I
To suffer in our place
What more can be said for amazing grace
But God so loved the world
What father would choose the heartache and the pain
To lose your only child for a stranger’s gain
Yet that is what He did
When He gave us Jesus
For God so loved the world
John 3:16-17, 14:23; Romans 5:5-10, 10:9-13
