  For I was just a wretched boy,   lost in wordly ways, 
  Falling down that slippery slope into my own disgrace. 
  For I did love the world and all that it embraced, 
  But you came to save   the lost, and their pain erase. 
  Chorus: 
  For God so loved the world   that He gave His One and only Son, 
  that whosoever believeth in Him will not   perish but be saved. 
  Some say You were just a man, but I know You are   God. 
  For who else could have led the perfect life in place of us? 
  Some   through their works and deeds themselves they think they'll save, 
  But in   Your Word you gave the one and only way. 
  
  Chorus: 
  For God so loved   the world that He gave His One and only Son, 
  that whosoever believeth in Him   will not perish but be saved.
