For God So Loved the World

Lyrics

Verse 1All mankind fell with Adam’s sin, yet God pursued us still,
A shepherd seeking wand’ring souls, to bring us to His will.
As east from west, our sins removed, by grace, He makes us clean,
“Though scarlet once, now white as snow”—through Christ, our souls redeemed.

ChorusFor God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son,
That all who put their faith in Him shall not be lost, but won.
We will not perish — by His blood we have eternal life
For God so loved the world, He saved us from eternal strife.

Verse 2When David fell, and wandered far, God’s mercy held him near,
Like Israel lost in desert sands, He led them without fear.
Though we were bound by sin and shame, His love would not let go,
“By His stripes, we are healed”—redeemed from death’s dark hold.

ChorusFor God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son,
That all who put their faith in Him shall not be lost, but won.
We will not perish — by His blood we have eternal life
For God so loved the world, He saved us from eternal strife.

Verse 3When Peter cursed, denied His name, still mercy took him in,
And Thomas doubted, yet was shown the wounds that conquered sin.
The Lord of hosts, who bore our shame, forever stands to save,
For every heart, His love remains, life risen from the grave.

ChorusFor God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son,
That all who put their faith in Him shall not be lost, but won.
We will not perish — by His blood we have eternal life
For God so loved the world, He saved us from eternal strife.
