The Martins
For the Love
Blessed Redeemer, Lord of my life
Lord of all mercy, healed by His stripes
All torn and tattered, beaten and bruised
A torturous ending, yet He remained true
He remained true

A love beyond measure
Which words can't explain
A holy life lived for heavenly gain
Flesh put asunder in doing God's will
Sweet love demonstrated
The world could not kill
The world could not kill

And the nails through His hands
Didn't hold my Lord down
And the nails through His feet mattered not
No, the spear in His side
Would have never been thrust
If it had not have been for the love

Thank You, Lord Jesus
Through worship and praise
I'll love You dearly the rest of my days
That's what I owe You for all of Your pain
For giving Your life, Lord, so I could be saved
(Giving Your life, I am saved)
So I could be saved
And the nails through His hands
Didn't hold my Lord down
And the nails through His feet mattered not
No, the spear in His side
Would have never been thrust
If it had not have been for the love

No, the thorns for a crown
Would have never been placed
For the robe they'd have never cast lots
How would never have been
Made a spectacle of
If it had have been for the love
For the love

And the nails through His hands
Didn't hold my Lord down
And the nails through His feet mattered not
No, the spear in His side
Would have never been thrust
If it had not have been for the love
For the love
For the love, ooh...

I'll love You dearly the rest of my days
