Matthew West - So Loved

Some say they are just nothing
but some words upon a page
in a dusty old bible
at a back road revival
or a Sunday school lesson
from childhood days

yeah and some say
they’re just numbers
just some numbers on a sign
3:16, they don’t mean a thing
we see it all the time
but the world pays no mind

well, all I can tell you
is what it means to me
these are the numbers of my hope
these are the words that set me free
they tell the story of a Savior
who gave His life for me
and with all that is within me
I believe

For God so loved,
so loved the world
He gave His one and only Son
for God so loved

My daddy was a preacher
who made who I am
told me Jesus wants to reach you
and Jesus did through Billy Graham
I heard him talking through that TV
He said come just as I am,
so I came

Now in my life I’ve failed and fallen
I have drifted far and wide
I have wandered from my calling
I’ve believed that devil’s lies
But I never have forgotten the truth
that pulled me from the Bottom
from the day I joined that Prodigal Parade

For God so loved,
so loved the world
He gave His one and only Son
for God so loved
All who believe
will never die
but you will have eternal life
for God so loved

Hallelu,
Hallelujah
You sent your one and only Son
For God so loved
Every Life’s defining moment
is the moment you decide
what will you do with Jesus?
will you let Him change your life?

It’s an open invitation
calling out to everyone
it don’t matter where you’ve been
it don’t matter what you’ve done
hear that still small voice calling,
it’s calling you to come
and if these words wash over you,
your new life has begun,
your new life has begun
your new life..

For God so loved,
so loved the world
He gave His one and only Son
for God so loved
All who believe
will never die
but you will have eternal life
for God so loved
