You became one of us
Born in the slums
In the ghettos of the city
Your aim was to show the world how to love
So you healed the sick and the needy
Did we show our gratitude
Or reveal our attitude
We nailed you to the cross
(Chorus)
This is
The story of love
The story of love
The story of love
The story of love
You taught that religion could never save me
It angered all those who thought it could
You broke all the rules
Showed the wise they were fools
And that loving this life would enslave me
Your rainbow extends from heaven to man
You paid my toll washed the stains from my soul
You're more than a friend
(Chorus)
Your time had come
For men to hate You
We always hate what we don't understand
Love's greatest price
Was when You load down Your life
So freely that we might live again
Again and again and again
