THIS IS HOW I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
This is how I know what love is;
Jesus took the cross in mercy,
A love I don’t deserve.
Extravagant, magnificent,
The love You pour on me,
Extravagant, magnificent,
Your grace I have received.
Now everything I am must praise You,
Everything I am must praise You,
Everything I have I give You,
A life You so deserve.
This is how I know what love is,
This is how I know what love is;
It’s only by the grace of Jesus,
It’s only by the grace of Jesus.
